Abstract
We have measured the high-field magnetoresistance (MR) of the quasi-two-dimensional organic metal β″-ET2AuBr2 over a wide range of angles and temperatures. Band structure calculations using the overlaps of Mori et al. yield a Fermi surface (FS) consisting of an open section and only a single closed hole pocket [1] for this material. However, Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) frequencies are observed in the MR with fundamental fields of 39 T, 141 T, 180 T and 219 T plus harmonics, and so a detailed study of the temperature and angle dependence of the amplitude of the SdH oscillations was carried out in order to clarify the origin of the different frequencies. We propose the existence of a 2c spin density wave modulation driven by the nesting properties of the open section of the FS, and interpret the different SdH frequencies in terms of the modified band structure and the Shoenberg magnetic interaction.
