摘要
We present results for the thermopower of five crystals of YBa2Cu3O7- from the transition temperature Tc to 250 K and in magnetic fields to 2 T. The thermopower is approximately -4 V/K at 250 K for all samples, with a broad phonon drag peak around 150 K. Sharp peaks in the thermopower are observed in the vicinity of Tc. The thermopower is qualitatively the same for all crystals except one that was annealed at 650°C in oxygen. That crystal had a positive thermopower and exhibited no peak at Tc. After a reanneal in oxygen at 400°C, the negative thermopower and peak at Tc appeared. We discuss the possibility that the anomalous peak at Tc is a fluctuation effect and suggest a simple kinetic argument for the presence of a divergent fluctuation contribution. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
