Abstract

AbstractExperimental measurements of the electrothermal conductivity (P) near Tc, as a function of external magnetic field were carried out in undoped YBCO (123) superconducting samples. The electrothermal conductivity which relates electrical and thermal currents, depends on the applied magnetic field in high Tc materials, contrary to conventional low Tc superconductors where P is nearly independent of the magnetic field. The experimental P (B, T) data determined from resistivity and thermopower measurements were analyzed in terms of theoretical models and showed a behavior consistent with an order‐parameter symmetry (OPS) of d‐wave type.
