Abstract:The structure, normal state electrical transport and superconducting critical temperatures (T c ) of Y 1-x Pr x BaSrCu 3 O 7-δ (i.e., Y(Pr)-1113) and Y 1-x Pr x Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ (i.e., Y(Pr)-123) systems, with 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 1.00 and 6.93 ≤ 7 -δ ≤ 6.95, have been investigated. Residual resistivity (ρ 0 ) and resistivity slope ((dρ/dT) cc ) corresponding to the linear ρ-T region are determined from the normal state resistivity measurements. It is found that an increase in ρ 0 and (dρ/dT) cc correlates with a decreas… Show more
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.
