摘要: Electrical and magnetic properties were studied for the Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7−δ superconductors with x=0.44–0.48, which was located near antiferromagnetic (AFM) superconducting (SC) phase boundaries. An unconventional Kondo-like effect is observed below Tc x=0.48, where value of resistivity minimum ρmin increases increasing field H. The transition temperature Tmin first then decreases strength. Magnetic measurements show that a small fraction FM appears coexists SC AFM phases. We discuss these findings from viewpoints Kondo scattering electron-electron interaction, found mainly due to scattering. identified as coexisting clusters, singlets resulting Pr substitution. This phase-separated state unstable against suppresses restores ...
