Abstract/Summary

The effects of the partial substitution of Tin (Sn) into the Strontium (Sr) site of the high-Tc BSCCO system is studied. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the co-existence of the high-Tc and low-Tc phases in most of the samples. Electrical resistivity measurements showed zero resistivity at 115 K for the sample prepared via solid-state reaction method and with nominal composition of Bi2(Sr1.7Sn0.3)Ca2Cu3)16. Susceptibility measurement of this sample showed a transition onset of about 112 K. Scanning Electron Microscopy analysis of this sample revealed that bar-shaped crystals were formed.
