Abstract
The insulating state of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]I salt appearing at ambient pressure at low temperatures is suppressed by hydrostatic pressure. The resistive measurements showed that in high-quality crystals the emerging metallic state reveals superconductivity. The superconducting state with the transition temperature of about 8 K is stable at pressures higher than 0.1 GPa. |
