Abstract
The temperature dependences of the electric-transport properties of the two-dimensional organic conductors β″-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF2SO3, β″-(d8-BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF2SO3, and β″-(d8-BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF2SO3 are measured by dc methods in and perpendicular to the highly conducting plane. Microwave measurements are performed at 24 and 33.5 GHz to probe the high-frequency behavior from room temperature down to 2 K. Superconductivity is observed in β″-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF2SO3 and its deuterated analogue. Although all the compounds remain metallic down to low-temperatures, they are close to a charge-order transition. This leads to deviations from a simple Drude behavior of the optical conductivity which become obvious already in the microwave range. In β″-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF2SO3, for instance, charge fluctuations cause an increase in microwave resistivity for T < 20 K which is not detected in dc measurements. β″-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CHFSO3 exhibits a simple metallic behavior at all frequencies. In the dc transport, however, we observe indications of localization in the perpendicular direction.
