Abstract

The magnetic field dependent r.f. (20 MHz) power dissipation, P(H) vs H, for Hr.f. || c || H in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 (Bi 2 2 1 2) single crystals shows an onset at T~102 K, nearly 20 K above the nominal TC (~82 K). In contrast, for Hr.f. || ab, H || c, the onset of losses occurs at the TC. One possible reason for the onset at ~102 K could be the Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O8 (Bi 2 2 2 3) inclusions with a TC ~100-110 K. However, our non-resonant r.f. absorption studies cast doubt on this conclusion and point towards an alternative explanation in terms of superconducting fluctuations above the TC of Bi 2 2 1 2 single crystals. Support for this is provided by the characteristic temperature dependence of the magnetic field dependent r.f. dissipation.
