Mott Transition in a Valence-Bond Solid Insulator with a Triangular Lattice

Abstract: We have investigated the Mott transition in a quasi-two-dimensional Mott insulator EtMe3P[Pd(dmit)2]2 with a spin-frustrated triangular lattice in hydrostatic pressure and magnetic field. In the pressure-temperature (P -T ) phase diagram, a valence bond solid phase is found to neighbor the superconductor and metal phases at low temperatures. The profile of the phase diagram is common to those of Mott insulators with antiferromagnetic order. In contrast to the antiferromagnetic Mott insulators, the resistivity … Show more

“…It may be relevant in this context that 13 C-NMR experiments on both κ-CN 84 and dmitSb 91 find unusual line broadenings at low T that cannot be ascribed to disorder 92 , which might also indicate charge disproportionation. Similar line broadening at low T in EtMe 3 P[(dmit) 2 ] 2 occurs at the transition to the PEC 77 , which in turn gives way to superconductivity under pressure 82 .…”

“…The stability is diminished by application of high magnetic field as to break the valence bond pairs. The field-induced insulator-metal transition is in fact observed by the resistivity measurements in the 4-8 T range at the pressure just near the insulator-metal boundary [74]. As expected for the valence bond related superconductivity, the highest T c 5.5 K is attained at the insulator-metal boundary.…”

“…It is the first report of bulk Meissner signals (figure 7) detected in the Z [Pd(dmit) 2 ] 2 series. Taking account of the resistivity results [16,74], the P-T phase diagram is inferred from the magnetic experiments [73] ( figure 7). An outstanding point is that the superconducting phase adjoins the spin-gapped insulating phase.…”
