The Crossover beteween Aslamazov-Larkin and Short Wavelength Fluctuations Regimes in HTS Conductivity Experiments

Abstract

We present paraconductivity (AL) measurements in three different high temperature superconductors: a melt textured $YB{a}_{2}C{u}_3{O}_7$ sample, a $B{i}_{2}S{r}_{2}CaC{u}_2{O}_8$ epitaxial thin film and a highly textured $B{i}_{2}S{r}_{2}C{a}_{2}C{u}_3{O}_{10}$ tape. The crossovers between different temperature regimes in excess conductivity have been analysed. The Lawrence-Doniach (LD) crossover, which separates the 2D and 3D regimes, shifts from lower to higher temperatures as the compound anisotropy decreases. Once the LD crossover is overcome, the fluctuation conductivity of the three compounds shows the same universal behaviour: for $\epsilon =\ln T/T_c>0.23$ all the curves bend down according to the $1/{\epsilon }^3$ law. This asymptotic behaviour was theoretically predicted previously for the high temperature region where the short wavelength fluctuations (SWF) become important.
