Abstract

We investigated pressure dependence of the in-plane, chain, and out-of-plane resistivity of YBa2Cu3O7δ under hydrostatic pressure P of up to 2 GPa using detwinned crystals. A dramatic decrease in all the resistive components and the disappearance of ρc(T) upturn with P can be explained by assuming that applied pressure induces additional carriers in both the CuO2 planes and the CuO chains, as is similar to the chemical doping. Therefore, the conventional model of the carrier transfer from the chains to the planes is to be reexamined.
