HIGH PRESSURE SYNTHESIS OF Ca DOPED (RPr)-123 SUPERCONDUCTORS

Abstract

The nearly single phase (R0.4Pr0.6)0.5Ca0.5Ba2Cu3O7-δ superconductors (R=La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Y) were prepared under high temperature and high pressure using the cubic anvil apparatus. The measured result shows that we can get superconductivity in all these Ca doping compounds with Tc above 100K.
