Abstract

The effects of heat treatment, partial oxygen pressure &), and Pb substitution on the oxygen nonstoichiometry and on the stability of superconducting phases in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O systems were examined. The Pb substitution promoted and stabilized the 110-K phase, with a reproducible zero resistance at 107 K & hardly affects the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) in Pb stabilized samples while a large variation of Tc in Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O & from 0.01 to 1.0 atm. The Cu3+ concentrations determined by a volumetric & over the range studied, so this ion is not critical for superconductivity in Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O, as it is in Y-Ba-Cu-O. The higher extra oxygen content obtained from iodometric titration is attributed to the oxygen associated with Bi5+ ions in Bi-O2 layers which are not measured by the volumetric method. Such ions result from cationic vacancies. In doped 2:2:2:3 compounds Pb4+ ions, most likely located in the Bi layers, lower the charge states of both Bi and Cu which are otherwise raised by cationic vacancies.
