Abstract

A stable and reproducible resistive transition with onset at about 550 K has been observed in a new Y-Ba-Cu-O compound system and attributed to a transition to a possible superconducting state. The possibility of superconductivity has been indicated by the observation of (i) a dc Josephson-like effect up to 390 K which is quenched in a high external magnetic field and (ii) a marked reduction in the onset temperature with increasing bias current density. Both observations are consistent with granular superconductivity.
