Abstract

In the two-dimensional organic conductor, τ-(EDO-S,S-DMEDT-TTF)2(AuBr2)1+y, we have observed Shubnikov de Hass oscillations with Landau level down to n=2 in field up to 27 T. Motivated with this result, we extended to Hall effect study in pulsed magnetic field up to 60 T as well as in dc field up to 45 T and found Hall resistance plateau above 40 T (n=1). Since this system consists of two two-dimensional Fermi surface pockets, and larger pocket has a large effective mass compared with the smaller one, larger Fermi pocket behaves as a reservoir for the smaller pocket to be well-separated into completely filled and completely empty Landau levels in a certain range of temperature and magnetic field. The interpretation of realizing the Hall plateau can be understood as a new mechanism for QHE, but is quite different neither from localization nor field induce spin density wave state in organic TMTSF salts.
