The effects on the thermal stability in air of the partial substitutio
n of Cu(1) in the 1212 superconductor Cu(BaSr)(Y0.85Ca0.15)Cu2O7-x by
some oxoanion groups (SO42-, PO43- and BO33-) has been investigated by
thermoanalytical techniques (TG-DTA). An increased thermal stability
of the oxoanion-substituted samples (BO33- > PO43- > SO42-) has been f
ound.
