What is “Wonderland”? Organic Superconductivity, Ed. by V.Z. Kresin and W.A. Little (Plenum Press, 1990) pp.167-190 ; Proceedings of the International Workshop on Organic Superconductivity (May 20-24, 1990, South Lake Tahoe, Calif.)
Fermiology of organic conductors started in 1988 Magnetic quantum oscillations in magnetoresistsnce SdH: Shubnikov-de Haas effect in magnetization dHvA: de Haas-van Alphen effect (M. Tokumoto et al. in “Organic Superconductors” (1990) p.168) In November 1989, I visited Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory, MIT, for the first time, and started collaboration with Prof. James S. Brooks and his group at Boston University 1) (ET)2KHg(SCN)4 (ETL) 2) q-(ET) 2I3 (M. Tamura) 3) b”-(ET)2AuBr2 (A. Ugawa)
How it started? In November 1989, I visited Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory, MIT, for the first time, and started a longtime collaboration with Prof. James S. Brooks and his group at Boston University During my stay, we obtained new results on 1) (ET)2KHg(SCN)4 (ETL) 2) q-(ET) 2I3 (M. Tamura) 3) b”-(ET)2AuBr2 (A. Ugawa)
What is Brooks Method?Both SdH & dHvA effects J. S. Brooks et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 58, 117-121 (1987)

Prof. Kagoshima said “Now, it’s all over. Nothing is left to do, about this material.” Nevertheless, I decided to grow crystals by ourselves at ETL.

Saturable Absorption: Principle and Properties A saturable absorber has an absorption coefficient which is a non-linear function of I: As the intensity is increase beyond Is, the absorption decreases and the system becomestransparent. • Strong light • excites many electrons • saturates absorption • Happen easily, when • oscillator strength is large • Important properties • Saturation intensity • Recovery time (<1ps) • Transmittance change • Spectral change absorption absorption relaxation Absorption Coeff. Absorption Intensity
