Abstract
A new series of solid solutions (Bi 0.35In 0.65) 1− x Pb x Sr 2Gd 0.6Ca 0.4Cu 2O y ( x = 0−0.5) has been synthesised and characterised by means of powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometric analysis, and magnetic and resistivity measurements. High temperature preparations lead to the appearance of “bulk” superconducting properties which, however, can be attributed to the formation of a small amount of a Bi-2212 phase. The structure of a highly phase pure nonsuperconducting sample with composition Bi 0.21In 0.33Pb 0.25Sr 2Gd 0.89Ca 0.11Cu 2.21O 7+δ has been Rietveld refined using powder synchrotron X-Ray diffraction data.
