The quasi-two-dimensional organic conductor λ-BETS2FeCl4[BETS = bis(ethylenedithio) tetraselenafulvalene] transforms from a paramagnetic metal (PM) to an antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI) at a transition temperatureTMIof 8.3 K under a zero magnetic field. To investigate the mechanism of this PM–AFI phase transition, we studied the Fe 3dspin content dependence of the AFI ground state by measuring the specific heat of the mixed crystal λ-BETS2FexGa1-xCl4at temperatures as low as 0.2 K. The increasing Fe 3dspin density enhances the internal magnetic field caused by π spin antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering. It was confirmed that the Fe 3dspin provides favorable conditions for this mysterious PM–AFI phase transition. We propose that this phase transition originates from the magnetic anisotropy introduced by the π–dinteraction, which suppresses the low-dimensional fluctuation in the π spin system.
