Abstract

We report an antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering at ambient pressure and a superconducting transition under pressure for κ−(ET)2CF3SO3 [ET=bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene], which has a two-dimensional electronic system with quasi-one-dimensional triangular spin lattice. At ambient pressure, AF ordering was detected at TN=2.5K by H1 NMR, subsequent to two structural phase transitions at 230 and 190 K. Under hydrostatic pressures, metallic behavior appeared above ∼1.1 GPa, and a superconducting transition (maximum onset Tc=4.8K at ∼1.3 GPa) was observed up to 2.2 GPa. Superconductivity was also found under c-axis strain, which reduced t′/t, but was absent under b-axis strain which increased t′/t.
