摘要
We report on a contrasting behavior of the in-plane and out-of-plane magnetoresistance (MR) in heavily underdoped antiferromagnetic (AF) YBa2Cu3O6+x (x less than or equal to 0.37). The out-of-plane MR is positive and shows a sharp increase, by about 2 orders of magnitude, upon cooling through the Neel temperature TN A contribution associated with the AF correlations dominates the out-of-plane MR for H \\ c from far above TN, pointing to the key role of spin fluctuations in the out-of-plane transport. In contrast, the transverse in-plane MR [I \\ a(b); H \\ c] appears to be small and smooth through T-N, implying that the development of the AF order has little effect on the in-plane resistivity.
