Abstract
The new results summarized here, including a brief comparison with the paraconductivity, further suggest that the anomalous precursor (above Tc) diamagnetism recently observed in the underdoped La1.9Sr0.1CuO4 superconductor could be attributed to the presence, in addition to the conventional superconducting pair fluctuations, of Tc-inhomogeneities with long characteristic lengths associated with chemical disorder.
