摘要
We report the results of a study of the effect of structural relaxation on the basal-plane conductivity of heavily underdoped high- YBaCuO single crystals. An increase of the oxygen deficiency in YBaCuO has been found to strengthen localization effects and to lead to the realization of a transition of the metal-insulator type, which always precedes the superconducting transition. In addition, a 5-day room-temperature annealing of the samples has been revealed to result in a notable shift of the metal-insulator transition point toward higher temperatures.
