Abstract

Experimental correlations of thermoelectric power (TEP), oxygen deficiency (δ), and c-lattice constant in YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) c-oriented, polycrystalline, thin-film, high-temperature oxide superconductors are presented. The TEP values in the normal state were observed to be positive for samples with oxygen deficiencies between 0.08 ≤ δ ≤ 1.00 and negative for 0.00 ≤ δ ≤ 0.08. Furthermore, the TEP magnitudes were highly sensitive to the amount of oxygen and were found to increase with increasing oxygen deficiency, ranging from values of −2 μ V/K to more than two orders of magnitude higher. In addition, relatively temperature-independent TEP values were observed for hole-conductive samples with low oxygen deficiencies (δ ≤ 0.30). The lattice constants (c) of the same samples were measured by XRD. These were found to increase with oxygen deficiency and to correlate systematically with the TEP values. We conclude that TEP is a reliable indicator of the oxygen content in YBCO materials.
