Abstract

We have investigated the Hall measurement of Gd(Ba 2− x Nd x )Cu 3O 7+ δ with x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15, and 0.2 in a magnetic field of 0–1 T. The nominal samples has been prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction technique. The iodometric titration experiment was carried out for samples. The Rietveld analysis of the X-ray diffraction patterns indicates that samples are mainly single phase. The normal state Hall coefficient behaves as 1/ T in all samples. All samples with nominal compositions show single sign reversal with variation of magnetic field and temperature. The Hall resistivity of the samples with x=0 and 0.1 close to the superconducting transition temperature changes its sign with decreasing temperature and tends to a minimum − Δ max, and then monotonically goes to zero. The absolute value of − Δ max decreases with the increase of magnetic field. This can be qualitatively explained by a model calculation based on the time-dependent Ginsburg–Landau theory.
