Abstract
A peak in the temperature dependence of the resistance of ultrathin, granular DyBa2Cu3O7-δ films has been found near the Néel temperature TN of the Dy3+ sublattice which orders as a 2D Ising antiferromagnet. The shift of the position of the peak to lower temperatures with increasing magnetic field is consistent with it being a signature of TN. These observations are attributed to the suppression of intergranular Josephson coupling by pair breaking, resulting from enhanced intragranular spin-disorder scattering of quasiparticles near the transition.
