38. Dong et al. [27] cite an absolute value of 6 Ω cm; Geiser et al. [19] mention that the resistivity increases a factor of 10 upon cooling to 100 K before it drops in a metallic fashion. There seems to be a considerable sample dependence. In particular the in-plane transport strongly depends on crystal imperfections.

43. As noted above in Section 2, this anisotropy value has to be considered as a lower bound due to possible interlayer contributions to the in-plane resistivity.

45. The crystal symmetry is triclinic, with the room-temperature unit-cell parameters a = 9.260 Å, b = 11.625 Å, c = 17.572 Å, α = 94.69 °, β = 91.70 °, γ = 103.10 °, Z = 2, the space group is P over(1, ̄).

52. Since the sample exhibited cracks upon cooling, some residual resistance remains in the superconducting phase.

54. The insulating state found at even higher pressure [31] is probably caused by some structural change and not due to electronic correlations.
55. 3; also the temperature dependence is comparable down to 10 K. The same holds for the g factor and the temperature dependence of the spin susceptibility.
