    Structure and T//c data on LnBa//2Cu//3O//7 (Ln equals Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Y) compounds are reported and discussed. No reentrant behavior has been noted in these high-T//c superconductors for Ln equals Er and Yb until 4. 2 K. Four-probe resistivity was measured in the range 77-300 K employing ultrasonically soldered In-contacts. An inductance bridge with carrier-frequency amplifier was used to quickly check the samples for superconductivity at and above 77 K. A calibrated test set-up was employed to measure the superconductivity transition by the magnetic susceptibility technique.

    Studies on the title compounds show that while La and Pr form complete solid solutions, Tb does not substitute for Y. Superconducting transition temperature (Tc) decreased with increasing x from 91K but pronounced effect is noted for Ln=Pr. PrBa2Cu3O7 exhibits a semiconductor behavior. © 1988 Elsevier Science Publishers B.V.

    Enhancement of thermopower in the high T c superconductor YBa2Cu3O7 and related compounds

    The absolute thermopower of single phase YBa2Cu3O7 and Y0.8Er0.2Ba2Cu3O7 has been measured in the range 250 K to the superconducting transition temperature. It is found that these compounds show a large enhancement of thermopower in the range 150 K down to T c. This enhancement shows a steep exponential drop as the temperature increases from the transition temperature. The temperature variation of the enhancement is too steep to be accounted for by electron-phonon or electron-local structural excitation mechanisms. © 1987 Indian Academy of Sciences.

    The effect of chemical substitution on the high-Tc (91 K) superconducting oxide YBa2Cu3O7, with the distorted perovskite structure, has been studied. Subtle changes in Tc occur when Y is partly replaced by Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, Bi and In. The possibility of coexistence of magnetic order and superconductivity or reentrant behavior in these high-Tc compounds will be described and discussed. © 1987.
