摘要
Although organic superconductors such as kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)Cu(NCS)(2) are in the clean limit, the superconducting transition is intrinsically broad (e.g. similar to1 K wide for T-c approximate to10 K). We propose that this is due to the extreme anisotropy of these materials, which greatly exacerbates the statistical effects of fluctuations. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
