Abstract
We have studied the microwave surface resistance of kappa-(BEDT-TTF)2C u(NCS), under the application of a magnetic field (up to 10 Tesla) ori ented perpendicular and parallel to die highly conducting plane. In th e superconducting state the resistance is highly anisotropic and free of any hysteritic effects; we analyze the data in terms of dissipation due to vertex motion. The resulting temperature profile of the critic al field H(c2)(T) for the perpendicular direction shows, in contrast t o previous result, a downward curvature.
