Superconductivity of a theta-type ET salt prepared using CuCN and Ph4PN(CN)(2) as electrolyte
theta-type ET salt theta-(ET)(2)Cu-2(CN)[N(CN)(2)](2) has been obtained by electrocystallization in PhCN, using Ph4N[N(CN)(2)] and CuCN as electrolytes. Some of them showed anomalous behaviors for Low-Field-Microwave-Absorption (LFMA) measurements, which were one of the characteristics of super-conductivity. However, the others did not show the LFMA signals, indicating that there are two phases in this compound having different electronic states at low temperature.
