Abstract

The magnetoresistance of a quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) organic superconductor, (DMET)2I3, where DMET is dimethyI(ethylenedithio)diselenadithiafulvalene, was measured up to 30T at 1.5K. An electrical current was applied perpendicular to the conducting ab plane and a magnetic field is rotated in the ab plane. An anomalous hump of the magnetoresistance reported previously was observed at 7T between −15° and 15° from the most conducting b-axis. It was found that the hump has a fine structure at higher magnetic fields with two additional sharp local minima at about ±3°. Partial disappearance of the Q1D Fermi surface at a critical angle, where a kind of quantum limit is realized, is proposed to interpret the fine structure.
