Description
Information concerning the dimensionality of the superconductive fluctuations in the new high temperature superconductors can be derived from the excess conductivity (or paraconductivity) near the transition temperature. Here the lowering'' of the sample resistance in the same temperature regions is used for extraction of dimensionality and generally for comparative studies of the critical behaviour of three different samples such as YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7}, Y{sub 0.8}Gd{sub 0.2}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} and Bi{sub 0. 85}Pb{sub 0.15}SrCa{sub 1.2}Cu{sub 2}O{sub 6}. The experimental data of the three samples show a similar behaviour with some distinct differences depending rather on the metallurgical'' state of the material than the composition itself. A logarithmic behaviour is present for YBaCuO and Y(Gd)BaCuO samples not close to the critical temperature and, the most important, closer to {Tc} YBaCuO shows a fractal behaviour, observed for the first time, similar to the one of Bi-compound observed many times before.
