Abstract

We have measured the Tc, resistivity, and magnetoresistivity of a series of Bi2Sr2Ca1−xGdxCu2−yLiyO8+d samples, with x=0 and 0.4 and 0≤y≤0.6. We find that the suppression of Tc, the logarithmic variation of the resistivity above the superconducting transition, and the field-independent nature of the temperature variation of magnetoresistivity illustrate the enhancement of the Coulomb interaction with increasing normal-state resistivity (ρn). We also find a gradual crossover from a logarithmic to an exponential dependence with increasing ρn.
