Oxide superconductor and method of the production thereof.

摘要

The present invention provides an oxide superconductive substance comprising a composition containing at least Tl,. Bi, Sr, Ca, and Cu, in a ratio of (Tl+Bi) : Sr : Ca : Cu equal or very close to 1 : 2 : 2 : 3 and in a ratio of Tl/Bi in the range of 5/1 to 2/1 having a crystalline structure of the tetragonal system with the lattice constant, a = 0.38 nm, and c = 1.53 nm. The present invention provides also a method for producing (Tl1-y,Biy)Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox oxide superconductive substance comprising preparing a starting material containing metal oxide components in a ratio of (Tl1-y,Biy) : Sr : Ca : Cu : O = (1+Z) : 2 : 2 : 3 : x where 0 </= y </= 1/3, and the valaue of x is in the range of (7.5 + 1.5Z) </= x </=&lang& (8.3 + 1.5Z), and sintering said starting material in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
