Abstract

The time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory is used to study both transverse and longitudinal transport properties of a layered superconductor in a magnetic field near the mean-field transition temperature Tc2(H). We evaluate the transport coefficients in the self-consistent Hartree approximation which interpolates smoothly between the high-temperature regime, dominated by Gaussian fluctuations, and the low-temperature flux-flow regime, with no intervening divergence. This behavior is in agreement with the experimental results for the Ettingshausen coefficient, Nernst coefficient, longitudinal conductivity, and Hall conductivity in high-temperature superconductors.
