Abstract

The resistivity of Bi2Sr2CalCu2Ox single crystals has been measured in the ab-plane and along the c-axis. In all the directions the resistivity shows metallic behavior in the normal state. Room temperature resistivity along the c-direction is about 64 times higher than that in the ab-plane. Departure from the linear behavior occurs at 96 K and the zero resistance is obtained at 76 K. Excess conductivity analysis shows that the system is 2-dimensional in the temperature range 78.7-96 K and a 3-dimensional one below 78.7 K. Thus, a crossover from 2D to 3D is observed at 78.7 K in the Bi-2212 single crystal. This crossover was not detected in Bi 2212 or 2223 polycrystailine samples. The width of the transition (AT) varies with the application of magnetic field (H) as H °'s5 in Bi 2212 single crystal. The pinning l~otential (Uo) varies as H-'~ where a = 0.3 for the Bi-2212 single crystal and 0.47 for polycrystalline sample.
