Abstract

The critical fluctuations of the magnetization near the Hc2(T) line have been studied in four different single crystals of Tl-based compounds (Tl0.5Pb0.5Sr2CaCu2O7, Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10, Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8, and TlBa2Ca2Cu3O9) with the magnetic field applied along the c axis. It is shown that the magnetization can be scaled in reduced units according to the two-dimensional scaling developed by Ullah-Dorsey and Tesanovic et al., exhibiting the universality of the fluctuations. From this analysis, we deduce the values of the Ginzburg parameter (Gi), the coherence length [ξab(0)], and the penetration depth [λab(0)] of each phase. The values of the Ginzburg fluctuation parameter in the different compounds are put in relation with the relative location of their irreversibility lines.
