High-Field Successive Phase Transitions of Spin-Density-Wave Organic Conductors α-(BEDT-TTF)2MHg(XCN)4 [M = K, Rb and NH4 and X = S and Se]

  • Chapter
Materials Science in Static High Magnetic Fields

Part of the book series: Advances in Materials Research ((ADVSMATERIALS,volume 4))

Abstract

An isostructural family of organic conductors α-(BEDT-TTF)2MHg(XCN)4, where BEDT-TIF is bis(ethyleneditliio)tetrathiafulvalene, has been the subject of intensive study owing to the variety of the ground states [1]; metals (X=Se and M=K [2] or Tl [3]), superconductors [4] (X=S and M=NH4) and antiferromagnetic metals [5] (X=S and M=K, Tl or Rb). The crystal structure of α-(BEDT-TTF)2KHg(SCN)4 is shown in Fig. 15.1. Other members have the same structure with M and X atoms substituted. The thick anion layer (MHg(XCN)4) and the so-called α packing pattern of the BEDT-TTF molecules (Fig. 15.1b) are characteristic of this family.
