Abstract

The polarized optical reflectance spectra of κ-(BEDT-TTF) ₂Cu(NCS)₂ and its deuterated one are measured in the infrared region. Both the specific molecular vibration mode v₃(a _g) of the BEDT-TTF molecule and the optical conductivity hump in the mid-infrared region change correlatively at T*=45-50K. The results suggest that the electron-molecular vibration coupling on the v₃(a _g) mode becomes weak due to the enhancement of the itinerant nature of the carriers on the BEDT-TTF dimers below T*. The present observations demonstrate that two different metallic states are regarded as a correlated good metal below T* and a half filling bad metal above T*.
