Abstract

The anisotropic metallic state and superconductivity of this quasi-onedimensional linear chain mercury compound are discussed, and the results of studies of the transport, magnetic and optical properties are reviewed.New results on the resistivity and magneto resistivity have been obtained using contactless ac mutual inductance techniques.These data imply a magnetic field induced residual resistivity which appears to go to zero as the field is reduced to zero.Meissner effect measurements of this anisotropic superconductor have been extended to 0. 28 K; below 0. 4 K the flux exclusion becomes complete with X, approaching -( 1/4π ). Magnetization and transport data in the anisotropic superconducting regime below 4. 1 K are discussed in detail with emphasis on the question of the possible role of free mercury.
