Description

It is shown for (Sr, Ca)1-yCuO2.00+z (nominal composition) superconductors fabricated under a high pressure of 5 GPa and at 930 degrees C that, as z increases, the Meissner fraction increases from a few percent to 20% and then starts to decrease. In the X-ray powder diffraction pattern for the sample with the maximum Meissner fraction, it is obvious that the open-quotes infinite layerclose quotes structure has been decomposed and a new structure becomes the major phase. It appears that the new structure is the open-quotes 0223close quotes structure which consists of rock-salt and the open-quotes infinite-layerclose quotes type blocks. This material is likely to be a new superconducting cuprate. 17 refs., 4 figs
