The Mott transition is one of the key phenomena of strongly correlated electron systems. Of fundamental interest is the determination of its critical behavior and the underlying universality class. Despite intensive experimental efforts, the universality class is still unresolved. A key aspect, which has not been addressed in these approaches, is the role of electron-phonon-coupling as it is supposed to alter the critical properties to Landau criticality [1]. We will present thermal expansion studies under pressure [2] on the organic charger-transfer salt κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Cl. This technique is a very sensitive tool to detect critical behavior [3] as well as influences of the lattice on the electronic subsystem [1]. Our results clearly show a breakdown of Hooke’s law of elasticity which is a direct evidence for significant electron-phonon-coupling. Furthermore, we will discuss its effect on the critical exponents determined by this thermodynamic probe.
