A detailed study of normal-state magnetotransport properties in (Bi,Pb)[sub 2]Sr[sub 2]Ca[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub [ital x]] thin films with a zero-resistance critical temperature [ital T][sub [ital c]0]=105 K prepared by dc-magnetron sputtering on MgO substrates is reported. Measurements of the electrical resistivity, the magnetoresistance, and the Hall effect are analyzed with regard to contributions of the superconducting order-parameter thermodynamic fluctuations, using theories for two-dimensional, layered superconductors. We have obtained a consistent set of parameters, i.e., the in-plane coherence length [xi][sub [ital a][ital b]](0)=1.6 nm, the out-of-plane coherence length [xi][sub [ital c]](0)=0.14 nm, and the electron-hole asymmetry parameter [beta]=[minus]0.38. At temperatures below 118 K, we observe a remarkable enhancement (above theoretical predictions) of both the excess Hall effect and magnetoconductivity, whereas no such effect is detected for the zero-field paraconductivity. The above anomalies are attributed to a nonuniform critical temperature distribution inside our samples and can be well explained assuming a Gaussian distribution of [ital T][sub [ital c]]'s with a standard deviation [delta][ital T][sub [ital c]]=2.3 K. The excess Hall effect caused by superconducting fluctuations is negative in the entire accessible temperature range, which indicates, together with the paraconductivity and magnetoconductivity results that the indirect (Maki-Thompson) fluctuation process for (Bi,Pb)[sub 2]Sr[sub 2]Ca[submore » 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub [ital x]] is vanishingly small at temperatures from [ital T][sub [ital c]] to 130 K.« less
