Polycrystalline Pb2Sr2Yl\_xCaxCu3Os+ 8 (PSYCCO) samples have been prepared without precursor (x=0.3-0.6). The samples exhibit a metallic normal-state conductivity, and the highest To(R=0 ) achieved is 70K. Regarding anisotropy, SQUID-magnetometry demonstrates the intermediate position of PSYCCO betw

✦ Synopsis
The dependence on the oxygen concentration of normal and superconducting properties of ceramic samples of Pb2Sr2Y~ _xCaxCu3Os+a has been investigated in the composition range of 0 _< x< 0.5 and 0_< fi< 2. The superconductivity in each sample with different x is suppressed with increasing ~, which is in good correspondence to the increase in resistivity and Hall coefficient with increasing ~, but is contradictory to the speculation by Ohta and Maekawa [Phys. Rev. B41 (1990) 6524 ]. It is found from chemical analysis that holes introduced by the extra oxygen first enter the CuO6 layer and then the PbO layer rather than the pyramidal CuO: layer. With increasing ~, a structural phase transition from the orthorhombic phase to the tetragonal phase is observed at ~~ 1 in every sample with different x. The dependence on the oxygen concentration of the magnetic susceptibility is also reported.

We have prepared several samples of Pb2Sr2Yl-xCaxCu308+O with various well defined oxygen contents and studied their oxidation process by TGA and characterized them by X-ray and electron diffraction.

Structural studies of the oxidation process of YBa2Cu306+x and Pb2Sr2Y 1-xCaxOs+8 reveal that oxygen uptake does not necessarily lead to better superconducting properties. In the former compound oxygen incorporation results in a higher concentration of positive charges (electron holes) which are tra
