PARACONDUCTIVITY ALONG C-AXIS DIRECTION IN A PLANE OF A THIN-FILM OF YBACUO

Thin films of YBaCuO have been grown using a PrBa2Cu3O7-x template wit h the c-axis aligned in the plane of the films. Conductivity and hence paraconductivity have been measured along the c-asis direction on thi s plane. Thermal fluctuation studies have been attempted along this di rection, and the dimensionality effect was studied for this configurat ion. As a main characteristic a dimensionality equal to zero is emerge d from the data. This dimensionality is consistent with the phenomena of fluctuation along the c-axis.
