Abstract
We present a detailed study of single crystalline and analyze its thermodynamic and transport properties, anisotropic , and initial pressure dependence of . In zero field, the temperature-dependent resistivity is metallic. Deviation from a linear temperature dependence is evident below 100 K and a dependence is roughly followed from just above () to . Anisotropic data were measured up to 140 kOe with field applied along and perpendicular to the rodlike crystals. For the applied field perpendicular to the rod, is linear with a slope kOe/K. For field applied along the rod, the slope is about kOe/K below 70 kOe. Above 70 kOe, the magnitude of the slope decreases to kOe/K. The electronic specific heat coefficient , just above , is 73 mJ/mol ; the Debye temperature is 220 K. The specific heat jump at the superconducting transition . Finally, for hydrostatic pressures up to kbar, decreases under pressure linearly at a rate of .
