✦ Synopsis


With the discovery of high T c superconductivity (Tc: 7-8 K) in the organic conductor fl-(BEDT-TF)2I 3 under a soft pressure of 1.3 kbar, the pressure effect for 13, I2Br and IBr z salts is investigated to have a general aspect of the superconductivity. In the 13 salt, T c was originally 1.1-1.2 K at P = 0 kbar; above at least 1.3 kbar, T c suddenly increases up to 7-8 K and decreases smoothly to 1.2 K (7 kbar). The superconducting states were classified into "high T c state" and "low T c state" in the 13 salt. The high T c state remains after release of pressure. In the high T c state at 1.6 kbar, a tentative linear extrapolation of He2 to 0 K reaches 2 T (11 c*-axis) and 25 T (11 a-b plane) which is beyond the simple paramagnetic limit of 13T, while in the low T c state, 0.08T (11 c*-axis) and 2T (11 a-b plane). When the I3-anion is replaced by IBr z, the superconductivity is similar to the "high T c state" of the I 3 salt. In the I2Br salt, superconductivity is not observed down to 50 mK up to 3 kbar, which may be due to the disorder of the dipole moment of (Br-I-I) and (I-I-Br) in the crystal. Conductivity response against pressure at room temperature of the three salts is large and its magnitude is in order with the anion sizes.

The resistive transition of organic superconductors such as ~c-(BEDT-TTF)zCu(NCS)2 and Jc-(BEDT-TTF)zCu[N(CN)2]Br in a high magnetic field normal to the conducting plane exhibits a variety of behaviors. We propose that this is ascribed in part to the effect of superconducting weak links appearing at
