Title: Bandwidth tuning triggers interplay of charge order and superconductivity in two-dimensional organic materials.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.

We observe charge-order fluctuations in the quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor {beta}{double_prime}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}SF{sub 5}CH{sub 2}CF{sub 2}SO{sub 3}, both by means of vibrational spectroscopy, locally probing the fluctuating charge order, and by investigating the in-plane dynamical response by infrared reflectance spectroscopy. The decrease of the effective electronic interaction in an isostructural metal suppresses both charge-order fluctuations and superconductivity, pointing to their interplay. We compare the results of our experiments with calculations on the extended Hubbard model.
