TRANSPORT PHENOMENA IN THE MIXED STATE AND FLUCTUATION REGIME IN (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca1-xHox(Cu1-yZny)2O8+d
Measurements of the magnetoresistivity, Seebeck, Nernst and Hall coefficients in Bi:2212 superconductors doped with Ho and Zn are reported. The critical temperature and the transport coefficients depend strongly on the Ho and Zn contents. The tails of the transport coefficients versus temperature curves are caused by fluctuation effects, which increase with increasing magnetic field. An anomalous suppression of superconductivity at x = 0.25–0.35 and y = 0.025–0.032 was also found when the hole concentration per Cu is P H = 1/8 and the transport properties exhibit metallic behavior. It was found that dB c2 /dT = -2.4 ± 0.2 T/K , corresponding to a Ginzburg–Landau coherence length ξ = 15 Å. The Hall resistivity ρxy scaling with the longitudinal resistivity ρxx as [Formula: see text] with α ≈ 1.8 is in agreement with the theory of Vinokur et al. The experimental data in the mixed state are in agreement with the prediction of the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau theory.
