Yh. Wang et al., GROWTH AND PROPERTIES OF BI-(2-X)PBXSR2CA2CU3OY THIN-CRYSTALS BY KCL FLUX METHOD, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 973-974
High Quality single phase Bi2-xPbxSr2Ca2Cu3Oy platelets have been grow
n by KCl flux method. Lead doping was achieved by adding to the melt l
ead oxide. It was found that by this method the maximum lead content i
n the structure of the platelets (in atoms per formula unit) can be 0.
16. Lead doping was found as expected to increase the critical transit
ion temperature of the crystals. A similar increase was also found to
result from the thermal treatment in oxygen atmosphere.
