Abstract

The influence of room-temperature annealing on the parameters of the basal-plane electrical resistance of underdoped \(\hbox {YBa}_2\hbox {Cu}_3\hbox {O}_{7-\delta }\) and \(\hbox {HoBa}_2\hbox {Cu}_3\hbox {O}_{7-\delta }\) single crystals in the normal and superconducting states is investigated. The form of the derivatives \(\mathrm{d}\rho (T)/\mathrm{d}T\) makes it possible to determine the onset temperature of the fluctuation conductivity and indicates a nonuniform distribution of the labile oxygen. Annealing has been revealed to lead to a monotonic decrease in the oxygen deficiency, that primarily manifests itself as a decrease in the residual resistance, an increase of \(T_c\), and a decrease in the Debye temperature.
