Abstract

Percolation behaviors of normal-state conductivity and superconductivity have been studied in a Au-YBa2Cu3O7 granular system. The normal-state conductivity shows a percolation threshold at a Au volume fraction pAu of 23%, whereas the superconducting network shows a threshold at pAu∼60%. The presence of Au has negligible effect on the superconducting YBa2Cu3O7 phase. In the dilute limit, the ratio of the Meissner signal to the diamagnetic-shielding signal approaches unity.
