The quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor κ-(BETS)2Mn[N(CN)2]3 combines strong electronic correlations with magnetic properties dominated by the presence of magnetic Mn2+ ions in the insulating polymeric anion layers. The system undergoes a superstructure transition near 102 K, presumably of structural origin, and a metal-insulator transition at TMI∼30 K likely associated with a Mott instability [1,2]. In order to investigate the dynamical properties of the charge carriers, fluctuation (noise) spectroscopy has proven to be a successful method by measuring the time-dependent fluctuations of a sample’s resistance [3]. In this compound the normalized noise power spectral density shows a broad maximum at ∼100 K and a dramatic increase below TMI. The increase is accompanied by non-Gaussian fluctuations indicated by time-dependent noise spectra. In contrast, above TMI there is a good agreement with a simple model assuming independent fluctuators allowing to determine characteristic energies. We discuss our results in light of the possibilities of electronic ferroelectricity, recently observed in a number of dimer-Mott insulators.
