The structural and superconducting properties of ( samples have been studied by x-ray diffraction, resistivity, a.c. susceptibility and oxygen content measurements. The effect of increasing La concentration in is in lowering the carrier concentration and decreasing , which is attributed to hole filling by La. This suppression of has been compensated by appropriate hole doping with Ca in (, which shows that for a fixed La content increases dramatically as the Ca content increases. For instance, in the oxide (, the increases from 35 K (x = 0.0) to 82 K (x = 0.4, compensated oxide) as the hole filling by La is completely balanced by hole doping form Ca.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
