✦ Synopsis
We have measured the thermoelectric power and resistivity of the 120 K superconductor HgBa2CaCu2Oe+s (Hg-1212) as a function of temperature and oxygen annealing. Before annealina the Seebeck coefficient is moderate and positive, sugletting that the as-grown compound is slightly under-doped. After annealina ill oxygen at 200°C for 10 h, Tc was enhanced by 5 IC Further annealin 8 increased Tc by an additional 1 K and sharpened the transition. The thermopower shifts downward with increasing doping by oxygen annealing, resemblin 8 that of the Bi-based and TI-based systems. The carrier concentration was estimated from thermopower data and the T¢ value as ~ 0.13 and ~ 0.14 per Cu before and after oxygen annealing; respectively.

We have developed a set of interatomic potentials for the simulation of HgBa2CaCu206+ ~ (Hg-1212). These potentials can be used to reproduce the structure of Hg-1212 with a discrepancy in lattice parameter of less than 0.3% and a discrepancy in bond length of less than 1%.
