Quantum spin liquid (QSL) materials, identified by antiferromagnetic spin arrangement in a triangular lattice, have attracted attention ever since it was theorized. Study of the experimentally challenging QSL state, described by absence of long-range magnetic order due to geometric frustration involves techniques such as thermodynamic methods and magnetic probes to elucidate the magnetic properties. Among molecular QSLs, the κ-phase BEDT-TTF salts are notably significant as their triangular lattice points consist of BEDT-TTF dimer, in contrast to the atomic arrangement in inorganic QSL candidates. Owing to the incommensurate interpenetrating sublattice structure, a quasi-two dimensional organic conductor, κ-(BEDT-TTF)4Hg2.89Br8 has gained attention as a doped QSL candidate. The unconventional stoichiometry results in 11complexity and plausible inhomogeneity. It is interesting to compare the electronic properties with the isostructural QSL candidate, κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3. Here we present the results of our detailed infrared investigations of the correlated electron system κ-(BEDT-TTF)4Hg2.89Br8 in a wide temperature and spectral range revealing insights into charge dynamics, vibrational properties, subtle temperature-induced changes in the electronic behavior and the anisotropic optical response.
