Thermoelectric Power of HoBaCo2O5.5 : Possible Evidence of the Spin Blockade in Cobaltites

Thermoelectric power measurements have been performed for an ordered oxygen-deficient perovskite, ${\mathrm{H}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{B}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{o}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{5.5}$, in which the alternative layers of ${\mathrm{C}\mathrm{o}\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ octahedra and of $[{\mathrm{C}\mathrm{o}...
