Evidence for the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state in the organic superconductor κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2

The magnetic behaviour and resistivity of single crystals of the layered organic superconductor, κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2, have been studied as a function of the orientation of the applied magnetic field. When the magnetic field lies in the quasi-two-dimensional planes of the material, there is strong...

Opis
Sažetak:The magnetic behaviour and resistivity of single crystals of the layered organic superconductor, κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2, have been studied as a function of the orientation of the applied magnetic field. When the magnetic field lies in the quasi-two-dimensional planes of the material, there is strong evidence for a phase transition from the superconducting state into a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state.
