Coherence transition in granular YBa 2Cu 3O 7-δ , YBa 2Cu 2.95 Zn 0.05 O7-δ , and YBa 1.75 Sr 0.25 Cu 3O 7-δ superconductors
We have studied experimentally the electrical magneto-conductivity near the superconducting transition of YBa 2Cu 3O 7-δ , YBa 2 (Cu 2.95 Zn 0.05 )O 7- δ and Y(Ba 1.75 Sr 0.25 )Cu 3 O7-δ polycrystalline samples. The measurements were performed in magnetic fields ranging from 0 to 400 Oe applied parallel to the current orientation. The results show that the resistive transition of these systems proceeds in two stages. The pairing transition occurs at the bulk critical temperature T c, where superconductivity is stabilized within small and homogeneous regions of the sample generically called grains. The regime of approach to the zero resistance state reveals the occurrence of a coherence transition at a lower temperature T c0 . This transition is related to the connective nature of the granular samples and is controlled by fluctuations of the order-parameter phase of individual grains. Our experiments show that the Zn-doping, besides depressing the pairing critical temperature, strongly enlarges the temperature range dominated by effects related to the coherence transition. The substitution of Ba by Sr causes only a small reduction of T c, but also enhances significantly the effects related to the grain coupling phenomenology. In general, our results indicate that these impurity substitutions in YBa 2Cu 3O 7-δ produce or magnify the granularity at a microscopic level, enhancing the effects of phase fluctuations in the conductivity near the transition.

Study of the in-plane and c-axis fluctuation conductivity of melt-textured YBa 2Cu 3O 7 under hydrostatic pressure
We have experimentally studied the pressure dependence of the fluctuation conductivity in
melt-processed YBa2Cu3O7 (YBCO) for currents applied
parallel or perpendicular to the Cu-O2 atomic layers. Results show that the
asymptotic critical regime is described by the 3D-XY universality class for both in-plane
and off-plane conductivity components. The dynamical exponent for the in-plane
conductivity component is z = 1.5, independently of the applied pressure.
However, a pressure induced crossover in the dynamical universality class is observed in
the c-axis fluctuation conductivity, where the exponent changes gradually from
z = 1.5 to z = 2. The Ginzburg number increases with
pressure for both crystalline orientations. This behavior suggests that the in-plane and
c-axis components of the G-L coherence length decrease upon pressure application. The
fluctuation spectrum for the Gaussian regime in the planar conductivity keeps the three
dimensional character. However, filamentary fluctuations are observed along the c-axis
above the Ginzburg temperature. Our results for the out-of-plane fluctuation conductivity
in YBCO suggest that the c-axis transport is predominantly coherent in this system
