Abstract

YBaCuO–Ag pressure point contacts with direct conduction are investigated. The excess (relative to the normal state) conductivity mainly caused by fluctuational pairing of electrons above Tc is measured in the temperature interval 100–200 K. The superconductivity above 120 K is found to be of the two-dimensional type. The obtained preliminary results indicate the presence of small amount of an unknown phase with T′c ≳ 200 Kin YBaCuO.
