Abstract

We report the band structure calculations and experimental results for the resistivity and magnetic susceptibility in a spin-1=2 (BEDT-TTF)•+ monomer Mott insulator (BEDT-TTF)Cu[N(CN)2]2. The band calculations indicate a Dirac semimetal state with nodal lines at the Fermi level. The resistivity and magnetic susceptibility as functions of temperature were well interpreted in terms of the monomer Mott insulating state instead of the expected semimetal state, probably because of the strong electron correlation. In addition, we observed an Arrhenius-type steep reduction in the paramagnetic susceptibility below approximately 25 K, which indicates a spin-singlet ground state.
