Abstract

Magnetization measurements on the single crystals of the organic superconductor κ-(BEDT-TTF)₂Cu(NCS)₂ are performed in the magnetic field perpendicular to the conducting layers. We find an anomalous second peak on magnetization curves which is almost independent of the temperature, similar to the case of high-T_c superconductor Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_8+y. The peak field H_p ≃ 150 Oe well coincides with the dimensional crossover field B_cr = φ₀/(γs)². The temperature dependence of the irreversibility field in the quasi two dimensional (2D) region above B_cr is different from those in the three dimensional (3D) region below B_cr. At the 3D region, the irreversibility field is described by H_irr ∝ (1 - t)ⁿ with n = 1.9, however H_irr increases exponentially with 1/T at the 2D region. The dimensionality of the vortex state and the vortex pinning property are discussed.
