Persistence to high temperatures of interlayer coherence in an organic superconductor

Abstract

The interlayer magnetoresistance ${\rho }_{zz}$ of the organic metal \cuscn is studied in fields of up to 45 T and at temperatures $T$ from 0.5 K to 30 K. The peak in ${\rho }_{zz}$ seen in in-plane fields, a definitive signature of interlayer coherence, remains to $T$s exceeding the Anderson criterion for incoherent transport by a factor $\sim 30$. Angle-dependent magnetoresistance oscillations are modeled using an approach based on field-induced quasiparticle paths on a 3D Fermi surface, to yield the $T$ dependence of the scattering rate ${\tau }^{-1}$. The results suggest that ${\tau }^{-1}$ does not vary strongly over the Fermi surface, and that it has a $T^2$ dependence due to electron-electron scattering.
