In this work we study the influence of the constant magnetic field up to 14 kOe to the temperature dependence of the electrical conductivity in the ab-plane of aluminium doped YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ single crystals with an unidirectional twin boundaries system. The temperature dependence of the excess para-conductivity is interpreted within the Aslamazov–Larkin theoretical model of the fluctuation conductivity. It was shown that the lack of fan-shaped expansion of the resistive transitions in the magnetic field in these samples may be due to the lack of the non-pinning vortex liquid phase.
