Abstract

The in- and out-of-plane resistivities ρab and ρc have been measured on single crystals of Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 (Tl-2212) and Tl2/3Bi1/3Sr2CaCu2O7 [(Tl, Bi)-1212]. The ρc values were found to be much lower in the Tl monolayer [(Tl, Bi)-1212] than in the Tl bilayer (Tl-2212). These measurements allowed us to test quantitatively the predictions of the model proposed by Kim et al. [Physica C 177, 431 (1991)] about the influence of the thickness of the blocking layers on ρc, as well as the effect on the location of the irreversibility line.
