Abstract
We present magnetic torque measurements on the quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 at low temperature T/Tc≃0.01. The irreversible field Hirr lies far below the upper critical field Hc2 even at T≃0. In the magnetic field region, Hirr<~H<~Hc2, a vortex liquid state exists even at T≃0, resulting from the quantum fluctuations instead of the contribution of the thermal one at higher temperature. This finding is explained as the quantum vortex liquid state driven by the quantum fluctuations from the different theoretical models. In the liquid state, de Haas–van Alphen oscillations are observed, and Hc2 is defined by the appearance of the additional damping on the oscillation amplitude.
