Anisotropic Superconducting Properties of Single Crystalline Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ
Abstract
Anisotropic superconducting properties have been studied by means of resistivity measurements in magnetic fields up to 6 T. It is observed that the broadening of the resistivity in the ab-plane is not influenced by magnetic fields, when the magnetic field is applied precisely along the ab-plane. The difference between the resistivities within the ab-plane has not been detected, no matter what configurations of the current and the magnetic field directions may be set in the ab-plane. In addition, the b-axis resistivity diagrams in magnetic fields rotated in the ac-plane and rotated in the bc-plane are identical. Although these results are consistent with the 2D vortex state, the c-axis resistivity in fields rotated in the ac- and bc-planes cannot be explained by the conventional flux-creep and flux-flow mechanisms, which are essentially based on the Lorentz force type of interaction. The superconducting fluctuation model is in turn taken into account in order to better understand the experimental results.
