Abstract

Magnetoresistance measurements on superconducting Nd2−xCexCuO4−y single crystals with Tc varying from 7 to 19 K were made with magnetic fields H applied parallel (H∥c) and perpendicular (H⊥c) to the tetragonal c axis. For H∥c, the resistive superconductive transition curves gradually develop structure at low temperatures and high magnetic fields as Tc decreases. For the crystals with Tc≲11 K, this structure evolves into a double resistive transition with a resistivity maximum near T≊1.1 K, followed by an extremely sharp transition into the superconducting state. In this region, the resistivity exhibits non-Ohmic behavior for low current densities and Ohmic behavior for larger measuring currents. The resistivity for H⊥c does not exhibit any anomalous behavior or a maximum. The irreversibility line inferred from these measurements is sample dependent.
