Abstract
We report on fluctuation magnetoconductivity measurements in a granular sample of GdBa 2Cu 3O 7− δ . The experiments show that the resistive transition is a two-stage process in this sample. The pairing transition occurs at a higher temperature, where superconductivity is established in the grains. The critical thermodynamics for this transition is that of the 3D–XY universality class, with dynamic exponent z=1.5. At a lower temperature occurs the coherence transition, where the fluctuating phases of individual grains become long-range ordered and a zero resistance state sets in.
