Resistivity investigations on the X-ray irradiated Mott insulator κ-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl — •Ammar Naji1, Ulrich Tutsch1, Michael Lang1, and Takahiko Sasaki2 — 1Physikalisches Institut, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt (M), SFB/TRR49, D-60438 Frankfurt am Main — 2Institute for Material Research, Tohoku University, 2-1-1 Katahira, Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi 980-8577, Japan
The compound κ-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl is a two- dimensionally structured organic material with a rich pressure vs. temperature phase diagram including paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic Mott-insulating states as well as metallic, semiconducting and superconducting phases, see e.g., [1]. We used X-ray irradiation to induce defects in the material and by this change the charge distribution between anion- and ET-layers. The smaller resistivity of the irradiated samples compared to non-irradiated ones supports this idea [2]. As a consequence, X-ray irradiation may provide a means for doping the Mott-insulator away from half-filling. We will present resistivity data for the temperature range 5 K ≤ T ≤ 60K and pressures up to 50 MPa from which the p-T-phase diagram of X-ray irradiated κ-(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl will be extracted.
