A. Nader et al., CRITICAL MAGNETIC-FIELD MEASUREMENTS OF THE MISFIT LAYER COMPOUND (SNS)(1.17)(NBS2) DOWN TO 50 MK, Physica scripta. T, 57(2), 1998, pp. 310-312
We report on magnetoresistance measurements of the misfit layer compou
nd (SnS)(1.17)(NbS2) in the superconducting state down to 50 mK. Its a
nisotropy was found to be in the range of 10 and remains constant down
to the lowest temperature of measurement. On the other hand, the cohe
rence length in the direction perpendicular to the superconducting pla
nes at zero temperature is higher than the distance separating the cen
ters of two successive superconducting layers, so this compound behave
s as a 3D-superconductor.
