G. Ilonca et al., SUPERCONDUCTING AND NORMAL-STATE TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES IN BULK YBACUO,DOPED WITH ZN, Journal of alloys and compounds, 195(1-2), 1993, pp. 347-350
We have investigated the resistivity, the Hall number, n(H), and the H
all conductivity, sigma(H), in bulk YBa2 (Cu1-xZnx)3O7-delta within th
e range of Zinc content 0<x<0.06. The magnetic field values were up to
5 T and the temperature range 20 K-300 K. The superconducting transit
ion temperature Tc, as well as, the slope of the normalized resitivity
in the normal-state decrease with increasing Zn concentration. The T3
dependence of sigma(H)-1, with a change of the slope around 230 K-240
K is correlated with the T-dependence of the carrier concentration.
