By comparing the R-T curves and the X-ray diffraction patterns of samples containing Sb3+ and Sb5+ , we discuss the role of Sb5+ and Sb3+ in the formation of new high Tc phase. It is found that Sb3+ partly substitutes Bi3+ forming 2223 structure; but a new high Tc phase will be produced when Sb5+ is added to the system.
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.
