Abstract The upper critical field B c2 of the organic superconductor λ-(BETS)2GaCl4 has been determined from resistance measurements for orientation of the magnetic field along three perpendicular crystallographic directions. The Ginzburg–Landau coherence length was estimated from the slope of B c2(T) curve near T c as 12.5 nm, 1.6 nm, and 12.5 nm for the a*-, b*-, and c-directions. Angular dependence of the critical field within highly conducting ac plane at 1.5 K was shown to possess two-fold symmetry, which can be related to the band structure anisotropy.
