Comparison Study of Transition Temperature between the Superconducting Compounds Tl0.9 Pb0.1 Ba2Ca2Cu3O9-δ, Tl0.9Sb0.1Ba2Ca2Cu3O9-δ and Tl0.9Cr0.1Ba2Ca2Cu3O9-δ

AbstractThree high temperature superconductors namely Tl0.9Pb0.1Ba2Ca2Cu3O9-δ, Tl0.9Sb0.1Ba2Ca2Cu3O9-δ and Tl0.9Cr0.1Ba2Ca2Cu3O9-δ have been successfully prepared by three-step solid state reaction method. The sintering was within (1128-1133) K. Electrical resistively, using four probe techniques, is used to find the transition temperature Tc. The transition temperature at zero resistivity Tc(offset) were 110, 115 and 118K, onset superconducting transition temperature Tc(onset) were 128, 131 and 132K for Tl0.9Cr0.1Ba2Ca2Cu3O9-δ, Tl0.9Sb0.1Ba2Ca2Cu3O9-δ and Tl0.9Cr0.1Ba2Ca2Cu3O9-δ respectively. All samples preparation with O2 flow. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed a pesudotetragonal structure with changes of lattice parameters for these samples
