Abstract
The anisotropic superconducting properties of a RbFeSe single crystal with K were investigated by means of superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) and torque magnetometry, probing the effective magnetic penetration depth and the magnetic penetration depth anisotropy . Interestingly, is found to be temperature independent in the superconducting state but strongly field dependent: and . This unusual anisotropic behavior, together with a large zero-temperature m, is possibly related to a superconducting state heavily biased by the coexisting antiferromagnetic phase.
