We employ the layered organic antiferromagnetic (AF) superconductor κ-(BETS)₂FeBr₄ as an exemplary system for revealing theoretically predicted [1] Zeeman spin-orbit coupling (SOC). This novel type of SOC has been proposed as a generic feature of antiferromagnetic metals producing several unusual effects. In particular, it should lead to spin degeneracy of Landau levels, which can be probed by magnetic quantum oscillations [2]. To this end, we have carried out detailed studies of the magnetic quantum oscillations in the low-field, AF, as well as in the high-field, paramagnetic (PM) states of κ-(BETS)₂FeBr₄. We have found that the spin-splitting effect on the oscillation amplitude, observed in the PM state, completely disappears in the AF state [3]. We interpret this result as a direct signature of the Zeeman SOC.
