Abstract
Resistively measured upper critical field, Hc2 (T), for fields up to 120 kOe are reported for the new superconductors Y0.8Ln0.2Ba2Cu3O7-z, Ln = Dy, Er and Tm. A concave curvature is observed for all the Hc2 (T) us. T graphs at lower fields. Origin of the curvature from the anisotropy of Hc2 and alternatively from critical fluctuations are discussed.
