Description

The thermal decomposition temperature and the superconductivity of nine substituted systems (Y is substituted by Gd, Dy, Pr; Ba by Sr, Ca; Cu by Sn, Al, Zn, Ni, respectively) were studied systematically. The results reveal that there is a close relationship between the Tc and the thermal decomposition temperature, and that the Tc is always suppressed as the thermal decomposition temperature is lowered. The authors consider that the thermal stability may be one of the predominant factors for the superconductivity
