The thermal conductivities κ(T ) of Ag-doped YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 sintered materials were measured for various Ag fractions up to f Ag = 0.67. By analyzing the κ(T ) data based on a proposed phenomenological model, the purity of doped Ag in YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7 could be determined.

✦ Synopsis
The absence of a linear behaviour of the dependence of the resistance R(T ) over a temperature interval 77-300 K was observed for ceramic superconductors YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ and thick polycrystalline films of the same composition with the addition of silver. A comparative analysis of the excess conductivity for HTSC and metal samples, characterizing the deviation R(T ) from a linear dependence, allows one to determine the onset temperature of fluctuation superconductivity: within 105-110 K. The analysis of fluctuation superconductivity is performed using the Aslamazov-Larkin model. A smooth transition from the one-dimensional to the two-and three-dimensional nature of superconducting fluctuations in the order parameter was observed for ceramic samples as the temperature decreased.
