Abstract
We report Nernst effect data for crystalline films of (with , 0.02, and 0.04) and grown by pulsed laser deposition. We show that our own results and published data for LSCO are consistent with the theory of Gaussian superconducting fluctuations. We also show that Zn doping increases the Nernst coefficient simply because it reduces the in-plane conductivity.
