Effect of pressure on the interlayer transport and the electronic structure in the organic quasi-two-dimensional bilayer metal θ-(BETS)4HgBr4(C6H5Cl)

The behavior of the interlayer resistance and the magnetoresistance in the organic quasi-twodimensional bilayer metal θ-(BETS)4HgBr4(C6H5Cl) is studied at normal pressure and a hydrostatic pressure of 10 kbar. The interlayer transport under atmospheric pressure is found to occur in an incoherent mode. The applied pressure does not change the electronic structure of the conducting layers and causes a transition to a weakly coherent mode at low temperatures.
