Abstract
We have investigated the superconducting properties in a single crystal of the superconductor via various techniques including, magnetization, AC transport, transverse field muon spin rotation and relaxation, and heat capacity. All measurements confirm the superconducting transition temperature . Electronic specific-heat data are well described by the BCS expression, suggesting that opens an isotropic gap on entering the superconducting state. Specific-heat jump and the value categorize as a moderately coupled superconductor. Magnetization and transverse field muon spin rotation measurements along with the Ginzburg-Landau parameter, < demonstrates that is a type-I superconductor.
