description

Abstract The resistivity R ( T ) of superconducting UNi 2 Al 3 thin films shows a pronounced dependence on the current direction. Specifically, the superconducting transition temperature T c is directional dependent as well as the influence of the magnetic ordering on the transport properties. Also the upper critical field B c 2 ( Θ , T ) is moderately influenced by the probe current direction. These anisotropies are discussed in the framework of multiband superconductivity. The initial slope of the upper critical field B c 2 ′ ( T ) provides evidence for a spin singlet state.
