Variation in Tc and Carrier Concentration Caused by Change of Oxygen Content in Tl-Based Superconductors
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Tc variations observed in some Tl-based superconductors were studied. Clear correlations were found between Tc, carrier concentration, and c-axis length. In particular, for Tl2Ba2CuO6, a decrease in oxygen content of about 0.1 per formula unit, which corresponded to a decrease in hole concentration of about 0.2, increased Tc up to about 80K from a metallic non-superconductor, and elongated the c axis by about 0.4%. In addition, as Tc values increased systematic changes in metal-sheet separations were observed. Tc variations caused by a change in oxygen content were also observed in Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10. It was demonstrated that superconductivity appears in a certain appropriate range of carrier concentration similar to those observed in other high-Tc superconductors.
