Lj. Shen et al., The comparison between the pseudo gap opening temperatures in different cuprate superconductors with two CuO2 planes, PHYSICA C, 341, 2000, pp. 941-942
The pseudo gap temperature T* was determined for some single crystal and po
lycrystalline superconductors which have two CuO2 planes by rho (T) measure
ment. The experimental results indicate that the normalized pseudo gap temp
erature, namely T*/T-c(max), decreases with increasing T-c/T-c(max). The cu
rves of T*/T-c(max) vs. T-c/T-c(max) plotted using our experimental data, a
s well as the other authors' results reported previously, display an identi
cal trend. This identity reveals that the relationship between T*/T-c(max)
and T-c/T-c(max) is intrinsic for high temperature cuprate superconductors
with two layers of CuO2.
