Abstract
Magnetization measurements at ambient pressure on κ-(ETCu[N(CN]Cl, an organic salt that is superconducting under pressure (=12.8 K at 0.3 kbar), reveal an antiferromagnetic transition near 45 K and, for the first time in this class of materials, a transition near 22 K to a state displaying weak ferromagnetic hysteresis with a saturation moment of (8×)/formula. This low-temperature state is characterized by a sequence of first-order magnetization jumps.
