Abstract

(Tl1−x Pb x )(Sr2−y Ba y )Ca3Cu4O z samples were synthesized by using a two-step solid state reaction method and examined with respect to the (Tl,Pb)-1234 phase formation and superconducting properties. Samples were prepared from various starting compositions of 0≤x≤0.5 and 0.4≤y≤2.0. Nearly single-phased samples were obtained for (Tl0.8Pb0.2)(Sr2−y Ba y )Ca3Cu4O z (1.0≤y≤1.25) and (Tl1−x Pb x )(SrBa)Ca3Cu4O z (0.15≤y≤0.35). We have found that both the partial substitution of Ba for Sr and the partial substitution of Pb for Tl are effective for the formation of the Tl-1234 phase. Bulk superconductivity with a T c value of 106 K is observed in the (Tl0.7Pb0.3)(SrBa)Ca3Cu4O z sample.
