P. Osiceanu et al., A PRELIMINARY-STUDY ON THE PREPARATION AND PHYSICAL-PROPERTIES OF SOME HIGH T-C SUPERCONDUCTORS (Y,TM)-BA-CU OXIDES, Revue Roumaine de Chimie, 40(7-8), 1995, pp. 845-849
High T-c bulk superconductors Y(Tm)Ba2Cu3O7-x and YSryBa2-yCu3O7-x wer
e pre pared following new synthesis routes by the method of thermal de
composition of polynuclear coordination complexes. The best supercondu
cting samples were obtained using oxalic and malic acids as ligands. T
he effect of substituting of Pa by Sr nas a decrease of T-c with incre
asing the Sr:Ba ratio. Electrical resistance, magnetic susceptibility
and structural measurements have been performed on the superconducting
samples.
