All the samples possess single-phase character and their superconducting transition temperatures (T<sub>c</sub><sup>R = 0</sup>) are 85, 90, and 72 K, respectively for Bi2212-MQ, Bi2212-N2, and Bi2212-O2. Though the Bi2212-MQ and Bi2212-N2 samples are in near optimum doping regime, the Bi2212-O2 is an overdoped sample. T<sub>c</sub><sup>S = 0</sup> values obtained through S(T) data are also in line with those determined from the temperature dependence of resistance (T<sub>c</sub><sup>R = 0</sup>) and dc magnetization (T<sub>c</sub><sup>dia</sup>). Interestingly, S(T) behavior of the optimally doped Bi2212-MQ and Bi2212-N2 samples is seen to be positive in whole temperature range, the same is found negative for the overdoped Bi2212-O2 sample above T<sub>c</sub><sup>S = 0</sup>. This anomalous S(T) behavior is seen in the light of the recent band structure calculations and the ensuing split Fermi surface as determined by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
