We present a comprehensive study of the binary intermetallic superconductor,
BaSn5. High-quality single crystalline BaSn5 was grown out of Sn flux. Detailed
thermodynamic and transport measurements were performed to study BaSn5's normal
and superconducting state properties. This material appears to be a strongly
coupled, multiband superconductor. Hc2(T)is almost isotropic. De Haas-van
Alphen oscillations were observed and two effective masses were estimated from
the FFT spectra. Hydrostatic pressure causes a decrease in the superconducting
transition temperature at the rate of ~ -0.053 K/kbar.
