Abstract

Transfer integrals (tij ) between pairs of nearest neighbor ET molecules were calculated by an ab initio method. Tight-binding one-electron energy bands constructed from the tij are similar to those previously calculated by Mori and by Whangbo and their coworkers by semi-empirical, extended Hückel methods, but quite different from those found by Kübler et al. in β-(ET)2I3 using the augmented spherical wave (ASW) method. However, all these band models are suspect. The Hubbard on-site repulsion parameter U is estimated to be about twice the band widths, indicating that a full treatment of the Hubbard hamiltonian is needed. Also, polaron effects appear to control transport except at very low temperature.
