Abstract

Bulk superconductivity was observed in the new system (In _xPb_0.75-xCu_0.25)Sr₂(Ca _0.5Y_0.5)Cu₂ O_7-δ. An increase in indium doping, 0≤x≤0.2, into the Pb sites results in an increase in the superconducting transition temperature T_c from 45 K for x=0 to 60 K for x=0.2. For nominal compositions x≳0.2, a decrease in T_c was observed, and an increase in the concentration of an impurity phase. From the results of the x-ray diffraction and energy- dispersive spectrometry, we identify the phase responsible for the superconductivity to be [In _0.06(1)Pb_0.69(1)Cu_0.25]Sr _1.99(7)[Ca_0.47(1)Y _0.53(2)]Cu₂O _7-δ; this phase resulted from the synthesis of a sample of nominal composition (In_0.2Pb_0.55Cu_0.25)Sr ₂(Ca_0.5Y_0.5)Cu₂ O _7-δ.
