Abstract

The normal state of the layered organic superconductors κ−(BEDT−TTF)2X ( X=Cu(NCS)2 and Cu[N(CN)2]Br) has been studied by 13C NMR for the first time. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, T1−1, is greatly enhanced over the value expected from the Korringa relation and shows an anomalous peak around 50 K for both compounds. This is the first experimental evidence of strong antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations in these materials. The depression of the spin fluctuations observed below 50 K coincides with an appearance of Fermi liquid behavior in the charge transport.
