Abstract

Superconductivity in LaNiSn has been found below the transition temperature T c=0.59 K by measurements of the electrical resistivity and the a.c. magnetic susceptibility on a single-crystalline sample. The upper critical magnetic field was determined by the field dependence of the transition temperature. The non-saturating behavior in the magnetoresistance for transverse configurations suggests that LaNiSn is a compensated metal with no open orbits along the principal axes of the orthorhombic structure.
