F. Ichikawa et al., MAGNETIC-FIELD AND TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF LINEAR RESISTIVITY IN YBA2CU3O7 PRBA2CU3O7 MULTILAYERS/, Czechoslovak journal of Physics, 46, 1996, pp. 1359-1360
We have studied the temperature dependence of the linear resistivity r
ho(L) under several magnetic fields for YBa2Cu3O7 (24 Angstrom)/PrBa2C
u3O7 (96 Angstrom) multilayers. From a thermally activated flux flow m
odel, the H dependence of an activation energy U seems to show the pow
er-law behaviour above 2 T, while the scaling behaviour of rho(L) sugg
ests the existence of a quasi-two-dimensional vortex-glass transition.
These phenomena may be attributed to the existence of the coupling be
tween YBa2Cu3O7 layers in this multilayers.
