Optical reflection measurements within the highly conducting
(a,b)-plane of the organic metal
(BEDT-TTF)4[Ni(dto)2] reveal the gradual development
of a sharp feature (in both directions) at around 200 cm−1 as
the temperature is reduced below 150 K. Below this frequency
a narrow Drude-like response is observed which accounts for
the metallic behavior. Since de Haas-van Alphen oscillations
at low temperatures confirm band structure calculations of
bands crossing the Fermi energy, we assign the observed
behavior to a two-dimensional metallic state in the proximity
of a correlation induced metal-insulator transition,
i.e. the system approaches a Mott metal-insulator transition
in two-dimensions.
