Abstract

The Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O superconducting ceramics containing Al2O3 have been prepared utilizing the reaction, Tl2O2+BaCuO2+Ca2CuO3+A12O3 or Tl2O3+BaCuO2 +Ca2CuO3+AlCuO2.5. It is shown that the resulting ceramics show the superconductivity at temperatures over 100 K when the Al/Cu molar ratio is kept below 0.5. EPMA analyses revealed that there is always an Al2BaO4 layer between the superconducting Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O and Al2O3 phases, leading to the separation between the superconducting and A12O3 phases.
