Abstract

Superconducting properties of pseudo-single crystals of C₈K were investigated by low frequency a.c. magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity measurements. The measured values of T_c were between 128 and 198 mK for 13 samples. Measurements of the superconducting transition in a magnetic field revealed a remarkable anisotropy, such that if θ is defined as the angle between the applied magnetic field and the layer plane, type II superconductivity was observed for 0° ≦ {divides} θ {divides} ≲ 25° and type I superconductivity for 25° ≲ {divides} θ {divides}≦ 90°. The angular dependences of H_c2 and H_c3 were fairly well-explained by the effective mass model.
