Resistivity tensor correlations in the mixed state of electron-doped superconductor Nd2-xCexCuO4+δ

Abstract

The magnetic-field dependencies of the longitudinal and Hall resistance of the electron-doped compounds Nd2-xCexCuO4+δ in underdoped region with x = 0.14 and with varying degrees of disorder (δ) were investigated. It was established experimentally that the correlation between the longitudinal electrical resistivity and the Hall resistivity can be analyzed on the basis of scaling relationships: ρxy(B) ∼ [ρxx(B)]β. For the totality of the investigated single-crystal films of Nd2-xCexCuO4+δ/SrTiO3 the values of β from 0.8 to 1.55 is found. The observed feature in the electron-doped two-dimensional systems can be associated both with a displaying of anisotropic s - wave or d - wave pairing symmetry and with a pinning due to an essential degree of disorder in the samples under study. © 2016 Published by Elsevier B.V.
