Abstract
Ceramic samples of Tl 2Ba 2Ca 2Cu 3O 10 (Tl-2223) and TlBa 2Ca 2Cu 3O 9 (Tl-1223) superconductor were resynthesized by using several preparation procedures and investigated by means of magnetic separation technique, allowing evaluation of the superconducting critical temperature of individual grains as small as 25 μm. Although an onset of diamagnetism detected by SQUID measurements was observed around 130 K in Tl-2223 and 134 K in Tl-1223, no grains with T c > 125 K were found for Tl-2223 and with T c > 130 K for Tl-1223. Furthermore, the volume fraction of superconductivity of such ceramics was less than 5% and 3% in best samples of Tl-2223 and Tl-1223, respectively. Here we provide a detailed comparison of results obtained by magnetic separation technique with those by SQUID applied to individual grains and bulk samples.
