We present a detailed study of single crystalline K$_{2}$Cr$_{3}$As$_{3}$ and analyze its thermodynamic and transport properties, anisotropic $H_{c2}(T)$, and initial pressure-dependence of $T_{c}$. In zero-field, the temperature-dependent resistivity is metallic. Deviation from a linear temperature-dependence is evident below 100 K and a $T^{3}$-dependence is roughly followed from just above $T_{c}$ ($\sim$10 K) to $\sim$ 40 K. Anisotropic $H_{c2}(T)$ data were measured up to 140 kOe with field applied along and perpendicular to the rod-like crystals. For the applied field perpendicular to the rod, $H_{c2}(T)$ is linear with a slope $\sim$-70 kOe/K. For field applied along the rod, the slope is about -120 kOe/K below 70 kOe. Above 70 kOe, the magnitude of the slope decreases to $\sim$-70 kOe/K. The electronic specific heat coefficient, $γ$, just above $T_{c}$, is 73 mJ/mol K$^{2}$; the Debye temperature, $Θ_{D}$, is 220 K. The specific heat jump at the superconducting transition $Δ$C $\sim$ 2.2 $γT_{c}$. Finally, for hydrostatic pressures up to $\sim$7 kbar, $T_{c}$ decreases under pressure linearly at a rate of -0.034 K/kbar.

在不同晶轴方向施加磁场的情况下,对BaFe $_2$(As $_{1-x}$ P $_{x}$)$_2$($x\approx0.35$)的最佳掺杂单晶进行了压力下的磁性测量,从而跟踪了相干长度和各向异性因子的压力演化。尽管超导临界温度降低,我们的研究表明,压力下的超导性能变得更加各向异性。通过适当的缩放,我们直接将这些性质与BaFe $_2$(As $_{1-x}$ P $_{x}$)$_2$作为磷含量的函数获得的值进行比较。
