Abstract

Kosterlitz‐Thouless properties of laser deposited high Tc superconducting thin films of YBa2Cu3O7‐x were examined. The exponent of the power law dependence of V on I showed a “universal jump” at Tc. ID like conductivity fluctuation was also found at temperatures slightly above the mean‐field transition temperature Tco, which may be the result of imperfections of the sample.
