Vortex Transport Entropy in cuprate superconductors and Boltzmann Constant

Superconductivity 2021-12-08 v1

Abstract

The vortex transport entropy in the mixed state of the cuprate superconductors YBa2_2Cu3_3O7δ_{7-{\delta}} and Bi2_2Sr2_2CaCu2_2O8+x_{8+x} at the maximum Nernst or Ettingshausen signal below TcT_c is discussed. The vortex transport entropy per CuO2_2 double layer in the cuprate epitaxial films is found to be close to the Boltzmann constant.
