A logarithmic behavior is hidden in the linear temperature regime of the electrical resistivity R(T) of some YBCO sample below 2T c where "pairs" break apart, fluctuations occur and "a gap is opening". An anomalous effect also occurs near 200 K in the normal state Hall coefficient. In a simulation of oxygen diffusion in planar 123 YBCO, an anomalous behavior is found in the oxygen-vacancy motion near such a temperature. We claim that the behavior of the specific heat above and near the critical temperature should be reexamined in order to show the influence and implications of fluctuations and dimensionality on the nature of the phase transition and on the true onset temperature.

Superconductors are considered in which there occur fluctuations of one crystallographic structure inside another. The role of these heterostructural fluctuations on superconducting properties are analysed. The occurrence of these fluctuations explains anomalous saggings of Mössbauer factor at phase transition in high-temperature superconductors.

Changes of magnetic susceptibility and electrical resistivity of ceramic superconductors of nominal composition YBa2Cu3O7-y and Bi1.4Pb0.6Sr2Ca2Cu3.6Ox observed during their soaking in water are reported. It was found that the YBa2Cu3O7-y superconductor is destroyed in few minutes by boiling water. At lower temperatures the hydrolysis reduces the volume of the superconductive phase, as seen from the susceptibility measurements. Reaction of Bi1.4Pb0.6Sr2Ca2Cu3.6Ox with water causes a decrease of the relative volume of both superconducting phases at a rate substantially higher for the high temperature one (Tc = 110 K).
