A scenario for the critical fluctuations near the transition of few-bilayer films of high-temperature cuprate superconductors
We study the critical fluctuations near the resistive transition of very thin films of high-temperature cuprate superconductors composed of a number of only a few unit cells of superconducting bilayers. For that, we solve the fluctuation spectrum of a Gaussian–Ginzburg–Landau model for few-bilayers...

| Sumario: | We study the critical fluctuations near the resistive transition of very thin films of high-temperature cuprate superconductors composed of a number of only a few unit cells of superconducting bilayers. For that, we solve the fluctuation spectrum of a Gaussian–Ginzburg–Landau model for few-bilayers superconductors considering two alternating Josephson interlayer interaction strengths, and we obtain the corresponding paraconductivity above the transition. Then, we extend these calculations to temperatures below the transition through expressions for the Ginzburg number and Kosterlitz–Thouless-like critical region. When compared with previously available data in YBa2 Cu3 O7− few-bilayers systems, with = 1 to 4, our results seem to provide a plausible scenario for their critical regime. |
