Abstract

We studied the superconducting transition temperature T_C of β-(BEDT-TTF)₂I₃ in the high-T_C phase under uniaxial strain. By embedding the crystal into epoxy resin, 8 K superconducting phase is stabilized. By applying uniaxial compression, further T_C increase taking a maximum at a piston pressure of 3-4 kbar is observed for both directions parallel and perpendicular to the donor stack. The behavior is understood as a competition between the electron correlation (U _dimer/W) and spin frustration (t'/t) in terms of the spin-fluctuation mediated superconductivity on the dimerized triangular lattice Hubbard model.
