Abstract

Structural, electrical, and thermal properties of a series of superconductors Eu\(_{1+x}\)Ba\(_{2-x}\)Cu\(_{3}\)O\(_{7-\delta }\) where \(x=0\), 0.03, 0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 were investigated. According to the X-ray powder diffraction at room temperature, all the samples are single phase. Eu\(_{1+x}\)Ba\(_{2-x}\)Cu\(_{3}\)O\(_{7-\delta }\) takes on an orthorhombic–tetragonal (O–T) phase transition for \(x=0.2\). Corresponding to the O–T phase transition, the superconducting critical temperature \(T_{\mathrm{c}}\) decreases rapidly with Eu content. Thermogravimetric analysis was used to investigate the total oxygen content by determining the weight loss in oxygen atmosphere.
