Anisotropic upper critical field of single crystal RNi2B2C (R = Y, Lu) uri icon

abstract

  • Measurements of the anisotropic upper critical field curves have been extended for YNi 2B2C and LuNi2B2C (T c = 15.6 K and 16.1 K, respectively). Measurements of R(T, H) were taken along the crystallographic directions of <100> and <110>. The resulting critical fields show an upward curvature near T c and a linear behavior at low temperature, which continues to below 2 K with little, if any, sign of saturation.
