Abstract

Polarized reflectance spectra with polarizations parallel to the crystallographic b and c axes which lie on the two-dimensional conducting planes of a new ambient-pressure organic superconductor (BEDT-TTF) [Cu(NCS)2]2 were measured over the range from 500 to 28 000 cm−1 at room temperature. Plasma-edge-like dispersion with the minimum near 5000 cm−1 was observed for both polarizations. The bandwidths of the superconductor evaluated in terms of the Drude model and the tight-binding approximation were found to be 0.73 eV in the b-axis direction and 0.40 eV in the c-axis direction, thereby indicating the quasi-isotropic nature of the optical charge transport in the bc plane.
