The Electron Structure of Metallic Layers in the Quasi-Two-Dimensional Dual-Layered Organic Metal (BETS)4HgBr4(C6H4Cl2)

Abstract

We have studied the behavior of the Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) oscillations in the quasi-two-dimensional dual-layered organic metal (BETS)₄HgBr₄(C₆H₄Cl₂). It is established that the spectrum of SdH oscillations in this compound agrees well with theoretical calculations and qualitatively coincides with the analogous spectrum of (ET)₄HgBr₄(C₆H₄Cl₂) isostructural organic metal. The fractional substitution of sulfur by selenium in the cationic layer strongly decreases the values of cyclotron masses. This decrease is most probably caused by weakening of the electron–phonon interaction.
