R. Sekine et al., SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BI-2(SR,CA)(3)CU2O8+DELTA WITH DIFFERENT SR CA RATIO/, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 246(3-4), 1995, pp. 385-390
Single-phase Bi-2.2(Sr0.9-yCay)(2)Ca1.0Cu2.0O8.1+z (y = 0 to 0.4) was
synthesized and changes in the environment around apical oxygen (O-ap)
induced by substitution of the Sr sites by Ca were examined. By decre
asing the z value, the T-c value increases from 71.5 K to 91.5 K for t
he sample with y = 0, but remains unchanged for the sample with y = 0.
4. The different behavior of changes in T-c by the y values are discus
sed from the point of view of the changes in the Cu-O-ap bond length.
