Abstract: | Polarized reflectance and optical conductivity spectra of single crystals of two new isostructural organic conductors based
on the BEDT-TSeF molecule, namely, the κ-(BETS)4Hg2.84Br8 superconductor (T
c
=2 K) and the κ-(BETS)4Hg3Cl8 metal, which undergoes a smooth transition to the dielectric state near 35 K, have been obtained in the spectral region 700–6500
cm−1 at temperatures of 300–15 K. At 300 K, the spectra of both compounds are nearly identical and differ from the Drude spectrum
characteristic of metals. The nature of the observed difference is discussed, and the spectra are described in terms of a
cluster approach with inclusion of electron-electron correlations in the Hubbard approximation combined with the Drude model.
The parameters of the theory were determined, including the electron transfer integrals between molecules in a cluster. The
spectra in the conducting plane of the crystals were found to be essentially anisotropic, which should be assigned to specific
features of in-plane interaction between molecules. The spectra of the superconductor and the metal become increasingly different
as the temperature is lowered. The spectra of the metal obtained for T<150 K exhibit splitting of the broad electronic maximum in the mid-IR region into two bands, which is accompanied by a splitting
of a vibronic feature deriving from electron interaction with intramolecular BETS vibrations of ν3(A
g
) symmetry. No such splitting is observed in the superconductor spectra with decreasing temperature.
