Abstract
The authors report on some pressure-related properties of the organic superconductor kappa -(BEDT TTF)2Cu(SCN)2 in the range 1 bar-3 kbar. The pronounced resistance maximum at around 100 K is very sensitive to the pressure and so is Tc, which decreases rapidly at a rate dTc/dP=-3.6 K kbar-1. The resistivity anisotropy parallel to the transverse ratio does not show any anomalous behaviour across the resistance maximum. Instead, it shows a zig-zag shape when the resistance decrease is steepest.
