Abstract
Abstract The effects of the high anisotropy of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 on vortex dynamics and dissipation is reviewed. This high anisotropy results from the very weak coupling of conduction-electron states across the double Bi-O layers separating the conducting Cu-O bilayers. A model, based on Josephson coupling between the Cu-O bilayers, is shown to be consistent with the irreversibility behavior and the c-axis resistivity. The implications for conductor applications are described.
