P. Majewski et al., THE OXYGEN-CONTENT OF THE HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING COMPOUND BI2-YCAYCU2O8+D AS A FUNCTION OF THE CATION CONCENTRATION(XSR3), Physica. C, Superconductivity, 229(1-2), 1994, pp. 12-16
The oxygen content of Bi2+xSr3-yCaCu2O8+y (2212 phase) has been determ
ined as a function of its cation concentration. With increasing Ca and
Bi content the oxygen content increases and T(C) decreases. The oxyge
n content of Ca rich 2212 phase increases with decreasing annealing te
mperatures. The study shows that the T(c) of the 2212 phase primarily
is controlled by its cation concentration.
