✦ Synopsis
A new series of superconducting compounds Hgi _,~'b~Sr,_xBaxCu2 (CO3)O7 has been synthesized. The critical temperature reaches a maximum of 68 K for x=2; for the x= 1 and y=0.5 compound, which is mainly studied here, the optimized Tc is around 55 K. All Pb containing compounds exhibit a modulation along the [ 110] direction, to be attributed to an ordering between (Pb-Hg)O6 and carbonate groups. This ordering is highly variable depending, among others, on the local CO3 content and gives rise to different commensurate and incommensurate superstructures.
