Abstract

The magnetoresistance and magnetic torque of FeS are measured in magnetic fields B of up to 18 T down to a temperature of 0.03 K. The superconducting transition temperature is found to be Tc=4.1K, and the anisotropy ratio of the upper critical field Bc2 at Tc is estimated from the initial slopes to be Γ(Tc)=6.9. Bc2(0) is estimated to be 2.2 and 0.36 T for Bab and c, respectively. Quantum oscillations are observed in both the resistance and torque. Two frequencies F=0.15 and 0.20 kT are resolved and assigned to a quasi-two-dimensional Fermi surface cylinder. The carrier density and Sommerfeld coefficient associated with this cylinder are estimated to be 5.8×103 carriers/Fe and 0.48mJ/(K2mol), respectively. Other Fermi surface pockets still remain to be found. Band-structure calculations are performed and compared to the experimental results.
