Abstract
We present a nearly perfect Pauli-limited critical-field phase diagram for the anisotropic organic superconductor α- (ET) 2 NH4 (SCN) 4 when the applied magnetic field is oriented parallel to the conducting layers. The critical fields (Hc2) were found by use of penetration depth measurements. Because Hc2 is Pauli limited, the size of the superconducting energy gap can be calculated. The role of spin-orbit scattering and many-body effects play a role in explaining our measurements. © 2010 The American Physical Society.
