Fig. Crystal structure of κ−(ET)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl: (a) Top view of the ET layer and (b) side view of the layered structure. (c) Wave vector Q=(603) chosen for phonon measurements in the (h0l) scattering plane. Ellipses in (a) indicate ET dimers. Thick arrows show schematically the breathing mode with polarization vector ξ of ET molecules mainly detected at (603). (From Lattice Dynamics Coupled to Charge and Spin Degrees of Freedom in the Molecular Dimer-Mott Insulator κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2Cl)
