摘要
Electromagnetic properties of organic superconductors based on BETS [=bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene)] and MX4- (M=Fe, Ga; X=Cl, Br) were examined. Based on the results of resistivity measurements, the temperature-pressure-composition phase diagram of lambda-(BETS)(2)FexGa1-xBryCl4-y was determined. Due to the existence of Fe3+ ions, the crystal of lambda-(BETS)(2)FexGa1-xCl4 (x=0.4) exhibiting a superconductor-to-insulator transition showed an unprecedented resistivity behavior under magnetic field. lambda-(BETS)(2)Fe0.4Ga0.6Cl4 exhibited the successive insulator-->superconductor-->metal-->(field-induced) superconducting transitions with increasing the magnetic field parallel to the conduction plane up to 15 T and the insulator-->superconductor-->metal transitions for the field perpendicular to the conduction plane. The magnetoresistance experiments on the first antiferromagnetic organic superconductor, kappa-(BETS)(2)FeBr4 down to 0.58 K disclosed an onset of field-induced superconducting transition around 12.5 T.
