We have investigated the normal-state and superconducting properties of the 3-K superconducting phase of Sr 2 RuO 4 with the enhanced transition temperature T c by lamellae of ruthenium metal. In contrast to the dimensional crossover in the metallic conduction in pure Sr 2 RuO 4 with T c = 1.5 K, the 3-K phase retains metallic interlayer conduction at least up to 300 K. We attribute this behavior to the interlayer metallic paths through the Ru lamellae, connected by in-plane current paths. For the superconducting properties, the phase diagram of the anisotropic upper critical fields H c2 ( T ) indicates that H c2// a b is strongly suppressed in the low-temperature region. The measurements of the out-of-plane resistivity ρ c under magnetic fields show that the finite residual resistivity recovers above H c2 ( T ) of pure Sr 2 RuO 4 . This result confirms the spatial coexistence of the enhanced superconductivity with the T c = 1.5-K region in the 3-K superconductor. In addition, we have also observed hyster...
