摘要
We have measured the temperature and magnetic field dependence of resistivity of polycrystalline PrFeAsO0.60F0.12 samples in the normal and superconducting state. The superconducting onset transition temperature T-c(on) shifts by similar to 4 K as H is increased from 0 to 14 T. The zero-temperature upper critical field H-c2(0) estimated by using the Ginzburg-Landau theory and the Werthamer-Helfand-Hohenberg equation exceeds 100 T. The resistivity below T-c(on) exhibits Arrhenius behavior due to thermally activated flux flow of vortices. The activation energy U-0, determined from the Arrhenius plot of the resistivity, shows a power-law decrease (U-0 alpha H-alpha) with magnetic field. The normal-state magnetoresistance varies quasilinearly with magnetic field and does not obey Kohler's rule, suggesting a multiband feature of the material.
