Abstract

The effect of a small hydrostatic pressure p≃1.4kbar on the temperature-magnetic field phase diagram of the organic conductor λ−(BETS)2FeCl4 is reported. At zero field a hysteretic superconducting (Tc≃5.6K) to antiferromagnetic insulator transition (TN≃4K) is found. Furthermore, the transition temperature to the field-induced superconducting (FISC) state, as well as its concomitant upper critical field, is found to increase by ∼33%. The phase diagram of the FISC state for both pressures is well described in terms of the Jaccarino-Peter effect if the interactions among quasiparticles is taken into account.
