Hq. Chen et al., A STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF TL2O3 VAPOR FOR OBTAINING TL-2223 SUPERCONDUCTORS WITH T(C)(R=0)GREATER-THAN-125-K, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 224(1-2), 1994, pp. 196-198
Superconductors with T(c) = 126.7 K have been obtained by post-anneali
ng in Tl2O3 vapour and at 750-degrees-C for long periods of time. The
role of Tl2O3 Vapour was investigated. It was found that it effectivel
y prevented Tl loss and reduced the decomposition of Tl-2223 phase. A
possible mechanism for the increase in T(c) of the Tl-2223 phase is di
scussed.
