Electronic Properties of High-Temperature Superconductor DyBa$\text{}_{2}$Cu$\text{}_{3}$O$\text{}_{7}$ from Critical Fields and Specific Heat Studies

The lower and upper critical fields, as well as the specific heat were measured as a function of temperature for good quality DyBa$\text{}_{2}$Cu$\text{}_{3}$O$\text{}_{7}$ high-temperature superconductor in the vicinity of superconducting transition temperature T$\text{}_{c}$ = 91.2 K. The number of superconducting and normal state electronic quantities were determined basing on the Ginzburg-Landau-Abrikosov-Gorkov theory. It is argued that on the basis of this BCS-like theory one can describe the superconducting properties and, in combination with some information on the electronic structure, also the magnetic properties of high-temperature superconductors.
