Abstract

We investigate the influence of the disorientation angle between the direction of a constant magnetic field (up to 15 kOe) and the ab-plane α ≡ ∠( H,ab) to the temperature dependence of the excess conductivity in the temperature interval of the transition to the superconducting state in untwinned YBa 2Cu 3O 7− δ single crystals. We discuss the appearance of low temperature “tails” (para-coherent transitions) on the resistive transitions, corresponding to different phase regimes of the vortex-matter state. At temperatures above the critical temperature, the temperature dependence of the excess para-conductivity is interpreted within the Hikami–Larkin theoretical model of the fluctuation conductivity for layered superconductors.
