Abstract

We have studied the time-dependent resistivity of κ−(BEDT−TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br, a high transition temperature organic superconductor (Tc=11.6 K), in the temperature range 60–85 K. Based on these measurements, we identify an important parameter (in terms of time-dependent changes in resistivity) that is directly correlated to the superconducting transition temperature and also to the amplitude of the quantum oscillations associated with the Shubnikov–de Haas effect. This finding sheds new light on mechanisms involving disorder in this material. We describe a two-level model that accounts for the details of the time-dependent changes in resistivity.
