Bandwidth-tuning from insulating Mott quantum spin liquid to Fermi liquid via chemical substitution in $\kappa$-[(BEDT-TTF)$_{1-x}$(BEDT-STF)$_x$]$_2$Cu$_2$(CN)$_3$
arxiv(2019)
摘要
The electronic properties of molecular conductors can be readily varied via physical or chemical pressure as it increases the bandwidth W; this enables crossing the Mott insulator-to-metal phase transition by reducing electronic correlations U/W. Here we introduce an alternative path by increasing the molecular orbitals when partially replacing sulfur by selenium in the constituting bis-(ethylenedithio)-tetrathiafulvalene (BEDT-TTF) molecules of the title compound. We characterize the tuning of the insulating quantum spin liquid state via a Mott transition to the metallic Fermi-liquid state by transport, dielectric, and optical measurements. At this first-order phase transition, metallic regions coexist in the insulating matrix leading to pronounced percolative effects most obvious in a strong enhancement of the dielectric constant at low temperatures.
