Flux motion and dissipation in high-temperature superconductors
Description:
The effects on flux motion and dissipation of interlayer coupling of the Cu-O planes along the c-axis are considered for the high- temperature superconductors (HTS). It is argued that for the highly-anisotropic HTS, the weak interlayer coupling plays a dominant role that can be described by incoherent Josephson tunneling between superconducting Cu-O bi- or tri-layers. In YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7}, the layers are strongly coupled, presumably because the conducting Cu-O chains short circuit the…
