Abstract

We present thermal expansion measurements on a La1.85Sr0.15Cuo4 single crystal in external magnetic fields. Clear anomalies of the thermal expansion are observed at the superconducting transition. We have studied in detail the anisotropic influence of external fields on the anomalies. As expected, the field dependence is maximum for B ∥ c and minimum for B ⊥ c. The measured angular dependence corresponds to that of an anisotropic 3d superconductor with an anisotropy parameter γ ≃ 18.
