A. Tokiwayamamoto et al., A NEW HG-BASED HOMOLOGOUS SERIES OF CUPRATE SUPERCONDUCTORS (HG,TL)-22(N-1)N (N=1-5), Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 887-888
We have successfully synthesized (Hg,Tl) 2Ba2Ca(n-1)CunOy (n=1-5) and
(Hg,T1)(2)Ba-2(Y,Ca)(1)Cu2Oy cuprate superconductors which belong to a
new homologous series with an Hg-based bilayer reservoir block. The H
g-based bilayer block is found to be stabilized by substituting 30-60%
Tl for the Hg-site. The variation of their superconductivity with the
doping state as well as n is investigated by post-annealing them and
substituing Y for Ca.
