✦ Synopsis


A series of solid solutions containing CO3 groups, (CyCul_y)(Srl _z/2Caz/2)2(Y1 _xCax_zSrz)Cu20 d with 0.30<x <0.70, was prepared at 1313 K under the atmosphere of 02-4202. The values ofy (0.48-0.67) and z (0.14--0.28) depend on the total Ca content, x. The length of the a-axis increases from 3.8374(2) A (x=0.30) to 3.8591(9) A (x=0.70) with increasing x, while the c-axis length decreases from 11.1198(6) to 10.9410(6) A. All the as-prepared solid solutions are semiconductors, but superconducting transition is observed for the samples with 0.35 <x< 0.70 after annealing at 1273 K and an oxygen pressure of 4.0 MPa. The transition temperature (To) increases with increasing x, and the highest Tc =60 K is measured for the samples with 0.60 <x < 0.70. All the annealed samples show appreciable expansion of the c-axis length and contraction of the a-axis length relative to the as-prepared ones. The crystal structures of the as-prepared and annealed samples with x = 0.50 were refined from neutron powder diffraction data by means of the Rietveld method. On the basis of the refined crystal structure data and wet chemical analysis, it is suggested that hole doping is caused, during high-pressure oxygen annealing, by the release of some CO3 groups and by the introduction of oxygen atoms into the vacant "apical" oxygen site, where the CO3 group is not present.

Bulk superconductivity up to 90 K has been achieved in the Hg containing cuprate (Pb, Hg)Sr2(Cal\_xYx)Cu2OT\_6 when x= 0.3, which has the highest TΒ’ among the Pb based materials. The crystal structure of the newly discovered Hg containing Pb based 1212 phase has been investigated by Rietveld analysi
