Superconductivity and Stoichiometry in Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3Ox Single Crystals
MRS Online Proceedings Library(2011)
Abstract
Magnetization and resistivity data are presented which show a substantial difference in superconducting transitions for nominal Tl2Ca2Ba2Cu3Ox plates with identical crystal structures grown from two different “melt” compositions. A Tl-O and CuO-rich flux yielded approximately stoichiometric plates which have sharp transitions beginning near 111 K, while a second Tl-O-rich flux produced plates containing more Tl and less Ba with very broad transitions starting near 96 K. These data demonstrate the extreme sensitivity of superconductivity to cation site disorder in the Tl-Ca-Ba-Cu-O system.
