Abstract
We have studied the AC susceptibility of Sr-2 RuO4. We detected a peculiar feature near H-c2 for H(dc parallel to)ab-plane, which is correlated with t he in-plane H-c2 anisotropy. Both this feature and the magnitude of H-c2 an isotropy are severely suppressed with the held misalignment of less than 1 degrees. This fact supports that a new superconducting state with a line-no de gap exists at higher fields near H-c2. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. Al l rights reserved.
