S. Kanematsu et al., EFFECT OF BA SUBSTITUTION FOR SR IN BI2SR2CACU2OY SUPERCONDUCTING FILMS PREPARED BY RF-SPUTTERING METHOD, Phase transitions, 41(1-4), 1993, pp. 179-184
In order to investigate the effect of the distance between the CuO2 la
yer and the SrO layer, d(Cu-Sr), on the superconductivity in the Bi2Sr
2CaCu2Oy system, we have substituted Ba for Sr. Bi-(Sr, Ba)-Ca-Cu-O su
perconducting thin films were prepared by the rf-magnetron sputtering
method. Rietveld analysis was employed to estimate d(Cu-Sr). Samples w
ith various d(Cu-Sr) were obtained by changing the post-annealing temp
erature as well as the Ba concentration. T-c was found to increase wit
h increasing d(Cu-Sr).
