Abstract Temperature dependence of the upper critical magnetic field (Hc2) near Tc of 20K in a BaFe1.9Ni0.1As2 single crystal is determined via magneto-resistance measurements, for the out-plane (Hab) and in-plane (H || ab) directions in magnetic fields of up to 8T. The upper critical fields at zero temperature estimated by the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg (WHH) formula are μ0 Hc2||(0)= 137T and μ0 Hc2(0) = 51T, both exceeding the weak-coupling Pauli paramagnetic limit (μ0Hp=1.84Tc). However, the WHH formula could overestimate the μ0Hc2|| (0) value. The anisotropy of upper critical fields is around 3 in the temperature range close to Tc. The result is very similar to the Co-doped 122 superconductor BaFe2-xCoxAs2, indicating that electron-doped 122 superconductors exhibit similar superconducting properties.
