Abstract
Single-phase ceramics of superconducting Pb-based layered copper oxides (${\mathrm{Pb}}_{(1+\mathit{x})/2}$${\mathrm{Cu}}_{(1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x})/2}$)${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}$ (${\mathrm{Y}}_{1\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}\mathit{x}}$${\mathrm{Ca}}_{\mathit{x}}$)${\mathrm{Cu}}_{2}$${\mathrm{O}}_{\mathit{z}}$ (x=0--0.35 and z\ensuremath{\simeq}7) are successfully synthesized in an oxidizing atmosphere. The compounds that contain appropriate amounts of Ca (x>0.2) exhibit superconductivity when annealed in air and subsequently quenched into liquid nitrogen. The superconductivity transition temperature increases with increasing x and is raised to 52 K for nearly single-phase samples with x=0.4. It is shown that, when the sample with x=0.35 is quenched, the oxygen content z decreases from 7.10 to 6.99, which is practically equal to the stoichiometric value of 7. It is shown that the length of the a axis is nearly independent of the value of x, being constant at a fixed value for each set of as-sintered and quenched samples and that the a axis of the crystal is shrunken by quenching compared with that of a crystal slowly cooled.
