This paper presents the results of studies on the temperature and field dependences of resistivity tensor in the electron-doped superconductor Nd2-xCexCuO4. It is found that the system exhibits high metallic conductivity in the CuO2 conducting planes and nonmetallic temperature dependence of conductivity in the c-axis direction. Additionally, the behavior of magnetoresistivity and Hall resistivity in the mixed state is related to the dynamics of Abrikosov and Josephson vortices in crossed electric and magnetic fields.
This paper presents the results of studies of the temperature and field dependences of the resistivity tensor of the electron-doped superconductor Nd2 -xCexCuO4 (0.12 <= x <= 0.20) in the CuO2 conducting planes and in the direction perpendicular to the CuO2 planes. These results are successfully interpreted within the concept of quasi-two-dimensionality of the systems with high metallic conductivity in the CuO2 conducting planes (d rho(ab)/dT > 0) and nonmetallic temperature dependence of conductivity in the direction of the c-axis (d rho(c)/dT < 0) due to incoherent tunneling and thermal activation through barriers between the CuO2 conducting layers. The specificities of the behavior of the magnetoresistivity rho(xx)(B) and the Hall resistivity rho(xy)(B) in the mixed (resistive) state are associated with the dynamics of the transverse motion of Abrikosov and Josephson vortices in the flux flow regime in crossed electric and magnetic fields.
