Osquiguil, E., R. Decca, G. Nieva, L. Civale, and F. de la Cruz. "La1.80 Sr0.20 CuO4-delta a clean limit superconductor." Solid State Communications 65, no. 6 (1988): 491–494. Abstract: The electrical resistivity of the superconductor La1.80Sr0.20Cu04-? has been measured in a wide range of temperatures as a function of oxygen and vacuum heat treatments. The resistivity changes reversibly orders of magnitude with oxygen concentration. There is no sign of saturation at high temperatures, even for samples where the resistivity is increased by heat treatment in vacuum. Using the experimental data and general arguments it is concluded that the ceramic superconductors are high ? materials in the clean limit.

Esparza, D. A., C. A. D'Ovidio, J. Guimpel, E. Osquiguil, L. Civale, and F. de la Cruz. "The granular nature of bulk superconductivity at 40K in La1.8Sr0.2CuO4." Solid State Communications 63, no. 2 (1987): 137–140. Abstract: We have measured the electrical resistivity, magnetic flux expulsion and critical fields of the new high temperature superconductor La1.8Sr0.2CuO4 after different heat treatments. Our data show that the complete flux expulsion in these samples is consistent with the presence of shielding currents induced in multiple connected structures. The magnetization measurements indicate that the lowest field where flux penetrates into the sample should not be taken to be the bulk Hcl. It is shown that the absolute value of the electrical resistivity and its temperature dependence are not correlated with the superconducting critical field and temperature. We discuss the behaviour of the superconducting parameters and their relation with the electrical resistivity.
