Sh. Han et al., RESISTANCE ANOMALY IN THE SUPERCONDUCTING FLUCTUATION REGION IN BI2SR2CACU2O8 SINGLE-CRYSTALS, Solid state communications, 101(12), 1997, pp. 899-902
A resistivity anomaly near the superconducting transition temperature
is observed in the ab-plane of as-grown Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi-2 2 1 2) sin
gle crystals. The resistivity at the peak is much larger than the norm
al state resistivity around 100 K. The peak vanished gradually with in
creasing the applied magnetic field. I-V curves of the Bi-2 2 1 2 samp
les also exhibit a peak close to the transition steps, vanishing gradu
ally with increasing intrinsic granularity of high-T-c superconductors
