Abstract

The upper critical field Hc2 of the layered organic superconductor κ−(BEDT−TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br has been studied with emphasis on the field direction parallel to the conducting plane. Application of hydrostatic pressure changes the shape of the Hc2(T) diagram, removing a notable curvature observed at ambient pressure in the high-temperature region and giving almost linear dependence. The change is ascribed to the dominance of the orbital pair-breaking effect under pressure as opposed to the Pauli paramagnetic limiting of Hc2 at ambient pressure. An abrupt change by pressure of the slope of the Hc2(T) curve in a temperature range near Tc is ascribed to the phase change in the material due to the ordering of the ethylene fragments of the BEDT-TTF molecules.
