Superconductivity in Ti, Sb, Yb, Bi, Pb and Y multiply substituted TI1212 system / Wan Faizah Wan Abdullah

The effects of the elemental substitution on the 1212 phase formation and superconducting properties of (Tl,Bi)(Sr,Ti)2Ca0.9Y0.1Cu2O7 and (Tl,Pb)(Sr,M)2CaCu2O7 (M = Yb, Sb) series have been investigated. The samples were prepared using high purity oxides by solid state and precursor method. Cryst...
