Abstract

The bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) molecules in κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 crystals were observed directly by scanning tunneling microscopy. Carrier distribution observed on the BEDT-TTF molecules were in good agreement with the electronic structure calculated by an ab initio method based on the dimerized molecular structure determined by x-ray diffraction. The layer structure consisting of a stack of alternate conductive and insulating layers was clearly observed.
