Abstract

The results of the magnetoresistance on two thin-film samples of YBa2Cu3O7/PrBa2Cu3O7 superlattices have been reported for the temperatures near and below the superconducting transition temperature. The thermally activated flux-creep motion theory was used to describe the magnetoresistance results at temperatures much lower than Tc. The existence of the superconducting fluctuation near Tc as well as the two-dimensional behavior of superlattices were studied by comparing the magnetoresistance results and Larkin's quasi-two-dimensional (2D) superconducting fluctuation theory. A good fit between experimental results and theory was obtained and contrary to previous results, no crossover between quasi-2D and 3D was observed.
