Abstract

Investigations of the resistivity and the Hall effect as a function of electric field and temperature in the normal state and upper part of the superconducting transition of an optimally doped very thin film of YBa₂Cu₃O_7−δ are reported. Using a fast pulsed-current technique allowed to reduce the self-heating of the sample and to reach electric fields up to 1 kV/cm. An intrinsic non-Ohmic behavior of the Hall conductivity above the critical temperature that appears to originate from two different partially counteracting effects is revealed. The major contribution stems from the suppression of Aslamazov-Larkin superconducting fluctuations in high electric fields.
