Abstract

We have prepared samples of YBa2(Cu1−xMnx)3O7−δ, with x=0.0, 0.01, 0.025, 0.05, 0.075, 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20. Superconductivity with Tc in the range 84–92 K is demonstrated by resistivity and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The substitution of Mn for Cu did not affect the onset temperature for the resistivity transition. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the presence of additional phases, the amount increasing with Mn content, and also a slight modification of the YBa2Cu3O7−δ lattice parameters. A strong correlation between the width of the superconducting transition and the presence of additional phases was observed.
