Superconducting materials based on organic charge-transfer salts are regarded as candidates for unconventional superconductors because their properties strongly deviate from the BCS theory, similar to the high-temperature superconductors. We study κ-[ET]2Cu[N(CN)2]Br-crystals. Previous measurements showed a surface contamination of the crystals. Because of that we developed an in-situ cleaving mechanism for the preparation of clean surfaces. Measurements on these cleaved crystals show an improved signal-to-noise ratio in the measured I(U) spectra and atomic flat surfaces in the topographic images (nanometer scale in the height profile). All investigations were done under UHV-conditions (5 · 10−11 mbar) using a scanning tunneling microscope at 5 K.
