A. Das et al., ENHANCEMENT OF T-C IN RXCU2.8RE0.2O6-LESS-THAN-OR-SIMILAR-TO-1-X=0,0.75) DUE TO THE ELEVATED OXYGEN-PRESSURE ANNEALING(Z (Z), Solid state communications, 99(6), 1996, pp. 413-418
We report on the annealing study of the Y1-xPrxSr2Cu2.8Re0.2O6+z (z si
milar to 1; x=0, 0.75) samples under elevated oxygen pressures (200 ba
r). For the samples prepared at atmospheric pressures T-c=42 K for x=0
and < 5 K for x=0,75. After annealing for x=0, T-c increased from 42
to 55 K and superconductivity was observed at 14 K for the x=0.75 samp
le. The data may be explained due to a reduction in oxygen chain defec
