The features of surface superconductivity onset in layered superconductors with Josephson and correlation layer interactions are studied. It is shown that in comparison with ordinary type-II superconductors the situation in layered compounds is more complicated. The region of surface superconductivity is determined by the ratio of the correlation and Josephson interactions, T/sub U/ and T/sub J/. The possibility is shown of direct determination of the constants T/sub U/ and T/sub J/ in layered metals from experiments on surface superconductivity.
