Abstract
We report on a detailed investigation of the pressure-dependent structural and electronic properties close to the pressure-induced metal-insulator transition of the quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor β″-(BEDT-TTF)2SF5CH2CF 2SO3, where BEDT-TTF stand for bisethylenedithio- tetrathiafulvalene (or ET for short). Although the pressure-dependent hysteresis of the metal-insulator transition suggests a structural origin, no major crystallographic modifications could be detected by neutron-scattering experiments. Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) experiments, on the other hand, show that a reconstructed band structure precedes the phase transition to the insulating state. A new SdH frequency with a rather small effective mass appears.
