Description
<jats:p>The c-axis resistivity of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x crystals has been measured as a function of thermal cycling in the range between 70 and 856 K in flowing oxygen and nitrogen. Hysteresis in the temperature-dependent c-axis resistivity provides evidence of thermally activated oxygen diffusion in and out of the crystal varying as D(T)=6×107 exp(−Δ1/kT) and D(T)=55 exp(−Δ2/kT), where Δ1=2.2 eV and Δ2=1.2 eV, respectively. Oxygen diffusion into the crystals becomes significant above T0∼595 K and out of the crystal above T1∼750 K. The implications for the stoichiometric control, superconductivity, and intrinsic high temperature dependence of the resistivity of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x crystals are considered.</jats:p>
