Popis: We study the low-frequency dynamical properties of correlated charge carriers in various of the quasi-two-dimensional organic charge-transfer salts {kappa}-(BEDT-TTF){sub 2}X by means of fluctuation (noise) spectroscopy. Close to the critical endpoint of the Mott metal-insulator transition, a pronounced increase of the 1/f-noise level accompanied by a substantial shift of spectral weight to low frequencies indicates a sudden increase of the time scale of the charge fluctuations. For the less correlated, more metallic materials, we find a crossover/transition from hopping transport of more-or-less localized carriers at elevated temperatures to a low-temperature regime, where a metallic coupling of the layers allows for coherent interlayer transport of delocalized electrons.
