F. Letouze et al., SUPERCONDUCTIVITY UP TO 95-K IN MERCURY-SUBSTITUTED 1212-THALLIUM CUPRATES (TL,HG)1SR2-YCU2O7+DELTA(YND1), Journal of materials chemistry, 4(8), 1994, pp. 1353-1355
The solid solution Tl1-xHgxSr2+yNd1-yCu2O7-delta has been characterize
d; the homogeneity range extends up to x=0.2 and y=0.5. Electron diffr
action and XRD studies confirm the statistical distribution of the cat
ions in the different sites of the 1212-type structure. The best prope
rties are observed for x=0.1 and y=0.5, with a T(c) of 95 K and a diam
agnetic volume fraction of 70%. The influence of mercury substitution
for thallium in the phase is discussed.
