Organic superconductors: the need to go beyond effective 1/2-filled band models

Abstract

A frustrated, effective 1/2-filled band Hubbard-Heisenberg model has been proposed to describe the strongly dimerized charge-transfer solid families kappa-(ET)2X and Z[Pd(dmit)2]2. In addition to unconventional superconductivity these materials also exhibit antiferromagnetism, candidate spin-liquid phases, and in the case of Z=EtMe3P, a so-called valence-bond solid phase. We show that neither superconductivity nor the valence-bond solid phase occurs within the Hubbard-Heisenberg model, indicating that the effective 1/2-filled band model is unsuitable for these materials.
