Abstract
We report rf-penetration depth measurements of the quasi-2D organic superconductor β"-(BEDT-TTF) 2 [(H 2 O)(NH 4) 2 Cr(C 2 O 4) 3 ]·18-crown-6, which has the largest separation between consecutive conduction layers of any 2D organic metal with a single packing motif. Using a contactless tunnel diode oscillator measurement technique, we show the zero-field cooling dependence and field sweeps up to 28 T oriented at various angles with respect to the crystal conduction planes. When oriented parallel to the layers, the upper critical field, H c2 = 7.6 T, which is the calculated paramagnetic limit for this material. No signs of inhomogeneous superconductivity are seen, despite previous predictions. When oriented perpendicular to the layers, Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are seen as low as 6 T, and from these we calculate Fermi surface parameters such as the superconducting coherence length and Dingle temperature. One remarkable result from our data is the high anisotropy of H c2 in the parallel and perpendicular directions, due to an abnormally low H c2⊥ = 0.4 T. Such high anisotropy is rare in other organics and the origin of the smaller H c2⊥ may be a consequence of a lower effective mass.
