✦ Synopsis
We present magnetization measurements at ambient pressure on K-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]CI, an organic salt that is superconducting under pressure (T c = 12.8 K at 0.3 kbar). An antiferromagnetic transition near 45 K and, for the first time in this class of materials, a transition near 22 K to a state displaying weak ferromagnetic hysteresis with a saturation moment of 8 x 10-4/~/formula are observed. This low-temperature state is characterized by a sequence of first-order magnetization jumps.
