Abstract

Upper critical fields of graphite-KHg multilayers with 10Å periodicity were measured as a function of angle and temperature. The Hc2 (θ, T) data were compared to the anisotropic Ginzburg-Landau model and were found to be in qualitative agreement, except at the lowest reduced temperatures, where significant deviations are found. The primary deviations from the anisotropic GL model are first, that the values of the critical field at the lowest temperatures are found to be higher than that predicted by the model, and secondly, the critical field anistropy ratio is found to be temperaturedependent. These deviations are discussed in light of more detailed models of anisotropic superconductivity.
