Abstract

Ca-doped Bi-2201 samples obtained by optimized preparation methods increase the highest onset of superconducting transition T(c, onset) up to 77 K. Raman experiments show that Ca-doping makes the OSr peak shift from 643 to 647 cm−1, which indicates that the OSr and surrounding atoms become closer. In addition, pressure is used to amplify the effects of doping in the structural characterizations. High-pressure angle dispersive x-ray diffraction (ADXRD) results indicate that the Ca-doped Bi-2201 sample has a tighter atomic packing than the pure sample, which results in a lower Raman peak position shift rate under compression. Combining the ambient data with the high-pressure structural analysis, the apical oxygen of the CuO6 octahedron is closer to CuO2 plane and adjusts CuO2 plane distortion, resulting in the increasing of T(c, onset) in Ca-doped Bi-2201 samples.

Graphical Abstract

Pressure can confirm the structural details of the high Tc Ca-doped Bi-2201 phase by amplifying its structural characteristic.

Highlights

  • The experimental strategy of using pressure to amplify the influence of Ca-doping on the structure of Bi-2201 phase was proposed.

  • Ca-doped Bi2201 crystals have smaller lattice volume, shorter c-axis, and are less compressible than the pure phase.

  • The influence caused by the apical oxygen of the CuO6 octahedron on distortion of CuO2 plane is an important reason for increasing the Tc of the Ca-doped samples.
