A. Marino et Je. Rodriguez, Influence of thermodynamic fluctuations on the thermoelectric coefficient in Ag-doped Bi-samples, PHYSICA C, 341, 2000, pp. 1923-1924
We present a study of the thermoelectric coefficient LO of polycrystalline
Ag-doped BSCCO superconducting samples.
Polycrystalline samples of nominal composition (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca2(Cu1-xAgx)
(3)O10+delta and (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca3(Cu(1-x)Agx)(4)O12+delta with 0 less tha
n or equal to x0.1 were analyzed. For low level doping (0 less than or equa
l tox less than or equal to0.005) the experimental results suggest that in
the mean field region, L(T) be not affected by thermodynamic fluctuations o
f the superconducting order parameter (OPF).
