Abstract
The quasi-two-dimensional molecular conductor -(BETS)FeCl, where BETS is bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene, shows a superconductivity in the high magnetic field environment. This is due to the compensation effect between the external field and the internal field created by the Fe magnetic moment. Here, we report the simultaneous transport and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements in the field-induced superconducting state down to 1.65 K. We find that the field-induced superconductivity is partially destroyed by ESR transitions, namely, by dynamical spin reversals of Fe. Moreover, it is found from our ESR results that the field-induced superconducting state is inhomogeneous, coexisting with the residual paramagnetic metal state.
