A purely organic material, κ-D3(Cat-EDT-TTF)2, undergoes a peculiar charge ordering transition triggered by deuterium localization in hydrogen bonds between two-dimensional conducting layers. Here, we report that the current density–electric field characteristics of this charge-ordered phase exhibit negative differential resistance and also hysteresis, which is considered to be induced by the deuterium dynamics. Upon the application of a pulsed voltage, the resistance irreversibly changes; namely, the initial charge-ordered state is changed to a metastable state through a high-conducting (excited) state, which results in the appearance of the hysteresis. Raman spectroscopy suggests that this metastable state is a non-charge-ordered dimer-Mott state. Interestingly, this state does not appear at low temperatures, and instead, the initial charge-ordered state reappears. These results are well understood by considering the temperature-dependent dynamics of hydrogen-bonded deuterium (i.e., localization/fluctuations) coupled to the π-electrons in the conducting layers. In contrast, the hydrogen analogue κ-H3(Cat-EDT-TTF)2, which is a dimer-Mott insulator without proton localization, does not show such hysteretic behavior.

  •   (29) The temperature of 140 K is actually lower than the deuterium localization temperature of 185 K;19) however, the Raman measurements indicate that, in this case, the deuterium is not localized at 140 K. One can imagine that the barrier of the double-well potential is lowered by the voltage application, which consequently allows the deuterium to fluctuate even at 140 K. Google Scholar
  •   (30) We expect that in the Vpulse-decreasing process [Fig. 3(d)], this dimer-Mott-type metastable state (R state) (Fig. 5 right) is changed to the charge-uniform high-conducting state (Fig. 5 center) by application of the pulsed voltage, where the H-bonded deuterium keeps fluctuating in the double-well potential. The switching from the low to the high-conducting state seen in H-TTF [Figs. 2(c), 3(f)–3(h)] should also be based on a similar scenario. The detailed mechanism is under investigation. Google Scholar
