Abstract

We report measurements of the de Haas–van Alphen (dHvA) effect in the organic superconductors α-(BEDT-TTF)2(NH4)Hg(SCN)4 (Tc≊1 K) and κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2 (Tc≊10 K) in fields up to 15 T and temperatures down to 0.45 K. For the first time, we determine the angular dependence of the cyclotron effective mass mc, and the orientation of up to four spin-splitting zeros of the dHvA signal. The angular dependence of the amplitude of the dHvA oscillations is quantitatively explained, and the mass enhancement due to electron-phonon coupling is estimated.
