Abstract

The upper critical fields Hc2(T) of single crystals of the superconductor Ca10(Pt4−δAs8)((Fe0.97Pt0.03)2As2)5 (δ≈0.246) are determined over a wide range of temperatures down to T=1.42 K and magnetic fields of up to μ0H≃92 T. The measurements of anisotropic Hc2(T) curves are performed in pulsed magnetic fields using radio-frequency contactless penetration depth measurements for magnetic field applied both parallel and perpendicular to the ab plane. Whereas a clear upward curvature in Hc2∥c(T) along H∥c is observed with decreasing temperature, the Hc2∥ab(T) along H∥ab shows a flattening at low temperatures. The rapid increase of the Hc2∥c(T) at low temperatures suggests that the superconductivity can be described by two dominating bands. The anisotropy parameter γH≡Hc2∥ab/Hc2∥c is ∼7 close to Tc and decreases considerably to ∼1 with decreasing temperature, showing rather weak anisotropy at low temperatures.
