Abstract

For detwinned Ni-doped single crystals of YBa2(Cu1−xNix)3O7−δ with x=0.005, 0.015, and 0.035, we have measured the in-plane longitudinal and Hall resistivities. The residual resistivity ρ(T=0) extrapolated from ρ(T) above Tc increases with Ni concentration x, indicating that the elastic scattering rate of conduction carriers 1τ(T=0) is increased. In the mixed state just below the superconducting transition temperature Tc, a sign reversal of the Hall resistivity is observed. The in-plane Hall conductivity σxy is found to be the sum of two terms, C1H and C2H. C1 and C2 are independent of field as in pure YBa2Cu3O7−δ, but dependent on both temperature and Ni concentration. The temperature dependences of C1 and C2 weaken with increasing Ni concentration.
