Abstract

We present new results obtained by simultaneous magnetization and resistance measurements on a HoMo6S8 single crystal, in the whole temperature range 30 mK⩽T⩽4.2 K and for several orientations of the easy magnetization axis with respect to the applied field. Field-induced superconductive transitions are observed in the ferromagnetic state of that re-entrant superconductor. They are described as the first experimental realization of an electromagnetic effect earlier suggested by Ginzburg, which requires a negligible effect of the exchange field. Our results concerning the anisotropy of Hc2 are consistent with that requirement. We also notice the possible existence of Ising wall superconductivity in HoMo6S8.
