Abstract:Single crystals of Bi2Sr2-XCuO6-y were grown from CuO-rich melts. The Sr content in the crystals was varied from x=0.1 to x=0.5 by varying the starting composition of the melt and the oxygen content was adjusted using an appropriate heat treatment of the crystals in a thermogravimetric system. With decreasing Sr content the superconducting transition temperature,Tc, of the crystals decreased rapidly from 10 K to below 4.2 K and the resistivity in the a-b plane changed from metallic (linear in T from 30 to 300 … Show more
