Abstract
The nature of the insulating ground state in quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor lambda-(BETS)_2GaX_zY_{4-z}, where the existence of a spin gap is suggested by susceptibility measurement, has been studied theoretically. Hartree-Fock calculations at absolute zero temperature show that if the on-site Coulomb interaction exceeds some critical value, then antiferromagnetic spin ordering emerges and eventually leads to an insulating state which can be considered as a two-dimensional localized spin system. Based on the quantum Monte Carlo simulations of Katoh and Imada, we will show that this system locates near the boundary between the antiferromagnetic phase and the spin gap phase, so that experimental facts can be explained.
