Abstract: We have studied the anisotropic superconducting properties of Sc5Ir4Si10 single crystalline sample by magnetic measurements. The upper critical field, H c2, for H parallel to the c-axis is larger than that for H parallel to the ab-plane, with the anisotropic parameter of about 2.3, indicating that Sc5Ir4Si10 is a quasi-one-dimensional superconductor. The magnetic penetration depths are estimated as λ c(0)=840Å and λ ab (0)=2100Å. The anisotropy of H c2 is also confirmed in randomly oriented powder samples. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
