Abstract
We report on the study of the electronic anisotropy of the superconductor using the in-plane resistivity measurements in the magnetic field applied perpendicular and parallel to Mg and B planes of single crystals. The results show the temperature dependent anisotropy of the upper critical field with the anisotropy ratio increasing from 2.2 close to up to about 3 below 30 K. Our estimation of the in-plane and out-of-plane coherence length of about and and the electronic mean-free path and respectively, indicates single crystal approaches the clean limit type-II superconductor.
