Fermi-surface reconstruction close to a pressure-induced metal-insulator transition
2004
We report on a detailed investigation of the pressure-dependent structural and electronic properties close to the pressure-induced metal-insulator transition of the quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor β-(BEDT-TTF) 2 SF 5 CH 2 CF 2 SO 3 , where BEDT-TTF stand for bisethylenedithio-tetrathiafulvalene (or ET for short). Although the pressure-dependent hysteresis of the metal-insulator transition suggests a structural origin, no major crystallographic modifications could be detected by neutron-scattering experiments. Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) experiments, on the other hand, show that a reconstructed band structure precedes the phase transition to the insulating state. A new SdH frequency with a rather small effective mass appears.
