Design of Organic (Super)Conductors and Study of Their Physical Properties

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 139))

Abstract

The molecular design and requirements for organic (super)conductors based on charge-transfer (CT) complexes of BO, ET and their analogues are described in terms of ionicity, stacking manner and self-assembling ability. The crystal and electronic structures of 10 K class κ-type BEDT-TTF (ET) superconductors are presented concerning with the electron correlation and the anisotropy of the electronic structure. At ambient pressure, owing to the strong spin frustration, a Mott insulator κ- (ET)2Cu2(CN)3 undergoes a non-spin-ordered ground state instead of the spin-ordered state. It also exhibits a superconducting state under a weak uni-axial strain. The appearance of the superconducting state by reducing the spin frustration is an evidence that the magnetic interactions are essential to realize the superconducting state.
