Abstract

Polycrystalline samples of HgBa2(Ca0.86Sr0.14)2Cu3O8+δ (denoted as Hg-1223) were prepared by a precursor route, which involves the reaction between HgO and two precursors: Ba2CuO3+x and Ca0.14CuO2. X-ray powder diffraction analysis revealed that the Hg-1223 is isostructural with pristine HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8−δ and TlBa2Ca2Cu3O9−δ. The Hg-1223 has tetragonal symmetry with space group P4/mmm, and lattice parameters a = 3.8648(2) Å and c = 16.0319(2) Å. The as-synthesized Hg-1223 sample has a Tc of about 126 K. After annealing in an oxygen atmosphere at 280 °C for 10 h, the Tc increased to 132 K. Using this precursor pathway, Hg-1223 samples can be reproducibly synthesized.
