Description
Electrical conduction in Y1-xScxBa2Cu3Oy prepared in the range of x = 0.0 - 1.0 was investigated. X-ray, infrared spectroscopy and electron microscope inspections were employed to develop an understanding for the structural properties of the samples. The results indicate that all the samples were multiphase even at x = 0.1 due to probably the low solubility of Sc in YBa2Cu3y. The samples were found to be the mixtures of semiconductive and superconductive phases, the ratio of which determines the critical temperature, Tc varied within a narrow range of 10 K until the semiconductivity appears at x = 0.9. It was argued that the Y1-xScxBa2Cu3Oy samples show semiconducting transition at a Sc content higher than the percolation threshold (Authors)
