Abstract

The electrical resistance and the magnetoresistance of the ceramic superconductor Y1Ba2Cu3O9−y have been precisely measured in order to extract the temperature derivative and to analyze the fluctuation regimes. The logarithmic dependence at high temperature is followed near the transition by a two-dimensional fluctuation regime in agreement with Aslamazov-Larkin theory (critical exponent λ2D=1, and a complex behavior below Tc. Our findings disprove the observation of a three-dimensional fluctuation regime near and above Tc.
