Abstract
The superconductivity that occurs below the charge ordering temperature in a quasi-two-dimensional (quasi-2D) organic conductor, the α-(ET) 2 I 3 salt, has been examined by applying the mean field theory and the random phase approximation to the extended Hubbard model with four sites in the unit cell and anisotropic nearest-neighbor interactions. It is shown that, under uniaxial pressure, the insulating phase moves to the metal phase with small pockets of electrons and holes, while the charge ordering state with the horizontal stripe pattern is retained. The novel property of the metal phase gives rise to the superconducting (SC) state with the full gap. It is found that the pairing interaction for the superconductivity is given mainly by the spin fluctuation existing between hole-rich sites in the unit cell. The role of the anisotropic repulsive interaction is discussed for the mechanism of the present SC state.
