摘要
In the mixed state of a superconductor, the electrothermal conductivity, P, which measures the electrical current density produced by a thermal gradient, is supposed to be independent of both the magnetic field and the details of the vortex motion. Measurements of the thermopower and resistivity in YBa2Cu3O7-delta, Bi2Sr2CaCu2Os8+delta, and Tl2Ba2CaCU2O8+delta show an unusual, sharp structure in P at low field. In Bi2Sr2CaCU2O8+delta, the extra contribution is negative,causing a sign change of the thermopower versus applied magnetic field. The possible origins of the low-field anomaly are discussed.
