"The origin of resistance and its relation to the superconducting mechanism remain a profound, unsolved mystery. Currently, model parameters used to fit normal state properties are specific and vary arbitrarily from one doping. This short review illustrates the electrical resistivity of ceramic high temperature superconductors copper oxides. The article gives a summary of the prevailing arguments of researchers to relate the material to ceramic HTS compounds. Keywords: superconductivity, HTC ceramic compounds, resistivity. "

Four years after the discovery of superconductivity at high temperature in the Ba-La-Cu-O system, more than thirty new compounds have been synthesized, which can be classified in six series of copper oxides: La2CuO4 - type oxides, bismuth cuprates, YBa2Cu3O7 family, thallium cuprates, lead cuprates and Nd2CuO4 - type oxides. Despite their quite different specific natures, close relationships allow their structures to be simply described through a single mechanism. The fifth first families can indeed be described as intergrowths of multiple oxygen deficient perovskite slabs with multiple rock salt-type slabs, according to the representation [ACuO3-x]m [AO]n.The n and m values are integer in the parent structures, n varying from 0 to 3 and m from 1 to 4; every member of this large family can thus be symbolized by [m,n]. The oxygen deficient character of the perovskite slabs involves the existence or the co-existence of several types of copper environment: octahedral, pyramidal and square planar.Both mechanisms, oxygen deficiency and intergrowth, are well known to give rise easily to nonstoichiometry phenomena. Numerous and various phenomena have actually been characterized in these cuprates, strongly depending on the thermal history of the samples.

The multilayered (N-S(D)-N)-types structures have been observed: there are the traditional Niobium low-temperature superconductors and new high-temperature superconductors. The main attention had been directed to the anisotropy, defectively and the stimulation of the superconductivity in the multilayered structures.

We report here on the structural and superconducting properties of RE 1 - 2x Pr x Ca x Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ (RE = Er and Gd, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) high temperature superconductors. The transition temperature (Tc) of these compounds decreases when the Pr and Ca concentrations are increased. At constant Pr and Ca concentrations, the Tc of Er 1 - 2x Pr x Ca x Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ superconductor system is higher than that observed for the Gd 1 - 2x Pr x Ca x Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ system. For the Gd 0.8 Pr 0.1 Ca 0.1 Sr 0.8 Ba 1.2 Cu 3 O 7 - δ sample, after heating in argon followed by oxygen annealing, the orthorhombicity increases accompanied by 10 K increase in Tc. These results show that though our data indicate an ion-size effect, the Tc suppression rate dTc/dx depends very much on the heat treatment adopted to prepare the samples.

We show that the model of charge-transfer fluctuation with LO phonons can unify the interpretation of the infrared features and the phonon softening at about 55 meV measured by neutron scattering experiments in high temperature superconductors. Based upon this model we demonstrate that reflectivity ratio of superconducting state to normal state is strongly modified as a result of strong electron-phonon interaction which is different from Holstein mechanism. A broad peak in the ratio reflectivity develops around the peak position of different neutron phonon density of states. This peak becomes stronger and shifts to a higher frequency as the coupling increases at lower temperatures. This situation complicates the interpretation of the ratio reflectivity peak as the superconducting gap.

Recent Nernst and interlayer transport experiments in Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+y (BSCCO) high temperature superconductors report hugely different limiting magnetic fields. We demonstrate that both fields convert to the same pseudogap energy scale T* upon transformation as orbital and Zeeman critical fields, respectively. We suggest a consistent interpretation of this finding based on separation of spin and charge degrees of freedom residing in different regions of a truncated Fermi surface.
