Description

We report electrical-resistivity, Hall-effect, and thermoelectric-power (TEP) measurements on the superconducting oxide La/sub 1.85/Sr/sub 0.15/CuO4. The transport properties indicate that in the normal state the material conducts via holes with a carrier concentration of 6.0 x 10/sup 21/ cm/sup -3/. Evidence is observed for unusual phonon-drag effects above the superconducting transition temperature T/sub c/ and granular or inhomogeneous superconductivity in the vicinity of T/sub c/. Below T/sub c/ the resistivity, Hall constant, and TEP all drop to zero, as expected for a superconducting ground state
