Thirty-Year Anniversary of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3: Reconciling the Spin Gap in a Spin-Liquid Candidate

A Pustogow - Solids, 2022 - mdpi.com
In 1991 the layered organic compound κ-(BEDT-TTF) 2 Cu 2 (CN) 3 with a triangular lattice
was synthesized for the first time. Although, originally, the focus was on the superconducting …

Gapped magnetic ground state in quantum spin liquid candidate κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu2(CN)3

B Miksch, A Pustogow, MJ Rahim, AA Bardin… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Geometrical frustration, quantum entanglement, and disorder may prevent long-range
ordering of localized spins with strong exchange interactions, resulting in an exotic state of …

Gapless Quantum Spin Liquid in an Organic Spin-1/2 Triangular-Lattice

T Isono, H Kamo, A Ueda, K Takahashi, M Kimata… - Physical Review Letters, 2014 - APS
We report the results of SQUID and torque magnetometry of an organic spin-1/2 triangular-
lattice κ-H 3 (Cat-EDT-TTF) 2. Despite antiferromagnetic exchange coupling at 80–100 K …

Quantum spin liquids unveil the genuine Mott state

A Pustogow, M Bories, A Löhle, R Rösslhuber… - Nature materials, 2018 - nature.com
The localization of charge carriers by electronic repulsion was suggested by Mott in the
1930s to explain the insulating state observed in supposedly metallic NiO. The Mott metal …

Absence of charge order in the dimerized -phase BEDT-TTF salts

Utilizing infrared vibrational spectroscopy we have investigated dimerized two-dimensional
organic salts in order to search for possible charge redistribution that might constitute …

Importance of spin-orbit coupling in layered organic salts

SM Winter, K Riedl, R Valenti - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We investigate the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) effects in α-and κ-phase BEDT-TTF and BEDT-
TSF organic salts. Contrary to the assumption that SOC in organics is negligible due to light …

Donor–anion interactions in quarter-filled low-dimensional organic conductors

JP Pouget, P Alemany, E Canadell - Materials Horizons, 2018 - pubs.rsc.org
Anions have often been considered to act essentially as electron donors or acceptors in
molecular conductors. However there is now growing evidence that they play an essential …
