Abstract

We have calculated bare cyclotron masses of layered organic superconductors, κ-type bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (ET) and bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene (BETS) salts, in which the effective cyclotron masses have been determined by quantum oscillations. The higher superconducting transition temperature (Tc) materials show the larger ratios of the observed to the bare cyclotron masses. This indicates that the mass enhancement, i.e., strong many-body effect is quite important for a high-Tc organic superconductor. The κ-type BETS salts need a stronger many-body interaction than the ET salts to be a superconductor, and the magnetic exchange interaction with magnetic anions realizes this requirement.
