Abstract
Magneto-oscillatory behavior of the organic metal - - has been studied at temperatures above 2 K at which the thermodynamic quantum oscillations are highly suppressed due to the temperature smearing of the Fermi level. Under this condition, we directly observe kinetic oscillations with frequency coming from quantum interference of the electron orbits in the magnetic-breakdown regime. The extremely low effective mass of these oscillations causes a very weak temperature dependence of their amplitude, allowing up to , the highest temperature reported for the observation of magnetic quantum oscillations in organic metals.
