Abstract

The electrical conductivity and thermopower of the cuprate, Y1Ba2Cu3Ox, have been measured as functions of temperature and oxygen partial pressure over the ranges of 400 °C–700 °C and 10−4 atm—1 atm, respectively. It has been confirmed that, as temperature increases, conduction mechanism changes from metallic to p-type to n-type semiconducting. It has been found that the p-n transition occurs at a specific value for oxygen content (x = 6.35) irrespective of temperature and that the thermopower in the p-type region is insensitive to temperature. The latter leads to a charge transfer mechanism of correlated hopping of holes. Mechanisms of hole generation due to oxygen nonstoichiometry are found to be different in the tetragonal and the orthorhombic phase of the cuprate.
