Organic charge-transfer salts of the κ-(BEDT-TTF)2 X (short: κ-X) family share essential features with cuprates regarding their superconducting state. In both classes of materials, the electronic structure is quasi two dimensional and superconductivity emerges in the vicinity of the Mott insulating phase, resulting in a strong deviation of the superconducting properties from BCS theory.
We investigate small crystals of the two charge-transfer salts κ-Cu[N(CN)2 ]Br and κ-Cu(NCS)2 using a low temperature scanning tunneling microscope and obtain good topographic resolution of the crystallographic structure. Due to the higher chemical pressure of κ-Cu(NCS)2, the two salts differ in the proximity to the Mott phase. We use scanning tunneling spectroscopy to investigate this influence and the electronic properties of the samples.
