Abstract

In this paper, we compare the interlayer transport in the organic superconductor κ−(BEDT−TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br on samples of different inhomogeneities in terms of resistive transition width ΔT. For field parallel to the current, H‖I, in the direction perpendicular to the layers, the isothermal magnetoresistance R(H) displays a peak effect as a function of field for high quality samples. The peak effect decreases gradually with increasing ΔT and it disappears completely for the sample with ΔT>2 K. The results demonstrate clearly that the peak in R(H) in the interlayer direction is intrinsic to the layered structure in this compound.
