Abstract
- We studied the microstructures, electronic, and magnetic properties on La-doped and La- and Ca-codoped YBa<subscript>2</subscript>Cu<subscript>3</subscript>O<subscript>7-δ</subscript> (YBCO). The superconducting transition temperature remains unchanged up to 10% for La-doped YBCO. The competition between electrons and holons was assumed according to the variation of T<subscript>c0</subscript> in La and Ca codopings in YBCO. The magnetoresistance (MR) effect is about 8%, which is observed obviously near the critical temperature and is independent of the content of La in La-doped YBCO. MR increases up to about 40% with the incorporation of Ca in La-doped YBCO. We present here possible explanations for the magnetoresistance effect in polycrystalline samples based on the microstructure and the increase of oxygen vacancies at grain-boundary interface.
