Organic charge transfer complex at the boundary between superconductors and insulators: critical role of a marginal part of the conduction pathways
We have found that the electrical properties of an organic charge transfer salt are qualitatively affected by slight differences in the conformation of one of the ethylene groups, which is not involved in the conduction pathways.
