Chemistry of High-Temperature Superconductors

Abstract: Spectacular advances in superconductors have taken place in the past two years. The upper temperature for superconductivity has risen from 23 K to 122 K, and there is reason to believe that the ascent is still ongoing. The materials causing this excitement are oxides. Those oxides that superconduct at the highest temperatures contain copper-oxygen sheets; however, other elements such as bismuth and thallium play a key role in this new class of superconductors. These superconductors are attracting attention bec… Show more

“…A model of the same type as MV-3 was suggested by Sleight for the BaBiO 3 superconductors, discovered by him and others before the superconducting cuprates (Sleight et al 1975;Sleight 1988). Doping in bismuthates is achieved by Pb or K and changes the composition to BaPb x Bi 1Kx O 3 and Ba 1Kx K x BiO 3 , respectively.…”

“…Furthermore, since lattice constants of the a-axis and the b-axis of Bi2212 are very close (a = 5.414 Å, b = 5.418 Å), 7 usually so-called "ab-twinning" is formed. 8 Since the ab-twinning is in-plane 90 • misorientation defects, 8 it is necessary to be suppressed. As a one of substrates satisfying these requirements, vicinal (100) substrates of SrTiO 3 (STO) had been used, of which (100) plane of the substrate was inclined by 4 ∼ 6 • toward the [111] direction.…”

“…[2][3][4][5] All of these copper-oxide superconductors contain perovskite CuO 2 conducting layers and rock-salt A-O layers as their structural building blocks. The m values are 1 and 2 when these compounds have single and double rock-salt A-O layers, respectively, while the n values define the number of CuO 2 layers in a unit cell.…”
