摘要
In-plane angular magnetoresistivity Deltarho(ab)(anis) measurements were made on Y1-xPrxBa2Cu3O7-delta single crystals in the pseudogap region. For xgreater than or equal to0.2 single crystals, Deltarho(ab)(anis)(theta) displays a deviation from the typical quasiparticle contribution (proportional tosin(2)theta) for temperatures smaller than a certain value T-phi in the pseudogap region. This deviation is consistent with a flux-flow type contribution to angular magnetoresistivity, indicating the presence of vortexlike excitations above the zero-field critical temperature in the pseudogap region.
