Abstract

Superconducting fluctuations in strongly anisotropic planar superconductors substantially affect the resistivity above the transition temperature. In a wide temperature range above Tc, the main effect of these fluctuations is to create a virtual gap in the electronic spectrum, causing an increase in resistivity. As a result the resistivity shows a maximum close to the transition temperature. Closer to the transition temperature the correction to the resistivity becomes negative and grows as 1/(T-Tc)2, which is followed by the usual (T-Tc)1/2 law still closer to the transition temperature. This observation may help to understand the unusual behavior of the resistivity in the c direction in high-Tc cuprates.
