Аннотация:The coupling between the CuO2 layers has been studied in a series of six TmBa2Cu3Oy (6.40 less than or equal to y less than or equal to 6.90) single crystals, together with a YBa2Cu3O6.9 and a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 crystal, in terms of the magnetically measured interlayer critical current. The Ginzburg-Landau thermodynamic anisotropies Gamma have been estimated too. As oxygen is removed, the coupling weakens and both Gamma and the anisotropy between inter- and intralayer critical current densities, Omega increases rapidly. The current anisotropy Omega appears to be larger than Gamma, and increases as the temperature is reduced, whereas Gamma should be temperature independent. These results are discussed in terms of Abrikosov versus Josephson vortices, and their effective dimensionality; possible pinning mechanisms are considered.
