The effective magnitude of the superconducting energy gap is sensitive to the direction of the electron momentum relative to the crystal lattice - the so-called anisotropy effect. The reduction in electron mean free path which occurs upon addition of indium to pure tin reduces the effect of anisotropy in the electron-electron interaction. The decrease in the effect of anisotropy has been observed to depress the critical temperature Tc, the 0oK critical field Ho and the constant K = 2nyTc2/(VH2).
