Abstract
The microwave conductivity σ1c and dielectric constant 1c along the c-axis in λ-(BEDT-TSF)2FeCl4 have been obtained by a cavity perturbation technique with TE011 resonant mode at 16.3GHz. Even though the d.c. resistivity indicates a highly metallic state, we have found a novel dielectric response in 1c amounting to the order of 103 from the metal-to-insulator transition temperature TMI=8.3K to TFM=70K, at which the noticeable specific-heat jump and 1H NMR spectral splitting have been recently observed. The dielectric anomaly is attributed to the dynamical response of π-electron's charge degrees of freedom and could be interrelated to the π-d interaction.
