Abstract

A (Hg,W)-1232-phase copper oxide has been synthesized in an essentially single-phase form with the composition of (Hg0.7W0.3)Sr2(Ce0.58Eu0.42)3Cu2O11+δ, through high-pressure synthesis at 5GPa and 1100°C. The (Hg,W)-1232 phase contains a three-layer fluorite-structured block between adjacent CuO2 planes. The crystal structure was confirmed by x-ray diffiaction, high-resolution transmission-electron microscopy, and electron diffraction. In contrast to the previously known three-fluorite-layer copper-oxide phases, perfect diamagnetism with a large Meissner volume fraction was revealed for this (Hg,W)-1232 phase. The superconductivity transition temperature Tc was found at 33K.
