Abstract

The charge transfer salt β′-(ET)₂SF₅CF₂SO₃, which has previously been considered a spin-Peierls material with a TSP;33 K, is examined using high-resolution high-field sub-millimeter/millimeter wave electron spin resonance (ESR), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. A peak in the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation behavior in fields of 8 T, accompanied by a broadening and paramagnetic shift of the resonance line, indicates a phase transition at Tc~20 K. A pronounced change in the high-field ESR excitation spectra at ~24 T, observed at Tc~20 K, may indicate the onset of antiferromagnetic (AFM) correlations of the low temperature phase in β′-(ET)₂SF₅CF₂SO₃. Peculiarities of the low-temperature magnetic and resonance properties of β′-(ET)₂SF₅CF₂SO₃ are discussed.
