In this work, the conductivity of YBa2Cu3O7−δ ceramics doped with Ti was studied. It is shown that the introduction of the TiO2 impurity leads to an increase in the number of effective scattering centers for normal carriers. The excess conductivity of the studied samples in a wide temperature range obeys an exponential temperature dependence, and near Tc it is satisfactorily described by the Aslamazov–Larkin theoretical model. In this case, the addition of Ti leads to a significant expansion of the temperature interval for the existence of excess conductivity in the ab plane.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
