Abstract
We have observed anomalous sharp peaks, just above the superconducting transition, in the ab-plane electrical resistivity and in the thermop ower of non-fully oxygenated Y1Ba2Cu3O7-delta single crystal and polyc rystal samples. These anomalies may be easily explained in terms of T- c-inhomogeneities, at long length scales, associated with oxygen conte nt inhomogeneities.
