Excess conductivity in the para-coherence region in high temperature superconductors

Abstract

The resistivity, {rho}, of sintered pellets of a few high-temperature superconductors was measured at very close intervals in the temperature range T{sub co} to T{sub co}+30K, where T{sub co} is the temperature at which the resistivity drops to zero. T{sub m} is the temperature at which d{rho}/dT shows a peak. A plot of the logarithm of the excess electrical conductivity ({sigma}(T) -{sigma}(T{sub m})), vs logarithm of T-T{sub co} is seen to be linear in every case from T{sub co} to a temperature T{sup *} < T{sub m}. The average slope of the plots has a value of 1.26 {+-} 0.07. This value is close to the exponent to be expected from the similarity of the model Hamiltonian of a granular superconductor to the model Hamiltonian describing a three dimensional XY ferromagnet.
