Popis: We have prepared a series of (Ca 0.1 La 0.9 )(Ba 1.65 La 0.35 )Cu 3 O y ceramic samples where y varies from 6.75 to 7.23 by annealing in oxygen at various pressures (up to 1330 bar). This compound (called CLBLCO) is one of few high- T c superconductors for which the oxygen content can be varied throughout the entire doping range. In our series the critical temperature increases from T c =16.9 K for y =7.00 (underdoped region) (the sample with y =6.75 is non-superconducting) to T c =30.1 K for y =7.10 (optimal doping). With further increase of the oxygen content T c decreases to 8.8 K for y =7.23 (overdoped region). Here, we present measurements of the resistivity ( ρ ), thermoelectric power ( S ), the Hall coefficient ( R H ), and their interpretation in terms of a simple metal theory. In this approach we indicate a correlation between the transition temperature ( T c ) and the density of the electronic states (EDOS) at the Fermi surface ( g ( E F )).
