Abstract
We report detailed studies of the anisotropy of the
magnetic susceptibility
by cantilever torque measurements in the
temperature range from 1.3 K to 15 K and in magnetic fields up to 15 T.
There is a considerable anisotropy of
in the normal state above 10 K. The orientation of the susceptibilty tensor is slightly different from
the crystalline a, b* and c axes. These results can be qualitatively
explained by the orientation of the BEDT-TTF molecules in the crystal
structure. In the low temperature phase an additional anisotropy develops,
where the orientation is fixed to the normal of the two-dimensional layers.
Key words. Organic metals - susceptibility - magnetic torque.
