Abstract

The anisotropic resistivity (p_ab(T) and p_c(T)) and thermoelectric power (S_ab(T) and S_c(T)) of HgBr₂-intercalated Bi-2212 single crystals are measured. In the normal state (T > T_c), the semiconductor-like behaviour of p_c(T) of the pristine Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_y becomes metallic upon HgBr₂ intercalation, while p_ab(T) remains metallic. Unlike the iodine-intercalated Bi-2212, the semiconductor-like S_ab(T) of the pristine sample changes to be weakly temperature dependent upon HgBr₂ intercalation and yet the S_C(T) remains temperature independent. Resistivity and thermoelectric power data of the HgBr₂-intercalated samples show anomalies at T = 250 K reminiscent of a phase transition. The results indicate that the charge transfer from HgBr₂ to the CuO₂ plane is important, which supports the picture that the doping-induced holes in the copper oxide sheets are responsible for the high-temperature superconductivity.
