Abstract: | A systematic study of the effects of oxygen content and distribution in 2223 single-phase Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ s superconductor has has been carried out using a combination of quenching in air and low-temperature annealing in nitrogen. With decreasing oxygen content a maximum was observed in Tc, accompanying the increase in room-temperature resistivity. Also the effect of oxygen redistribution has been studied by low-temperature annealing in nitrogen, which allows no oxygen content change. After this annealing, in Tc, the room temperature resistivity and the c-axis parameter an apparent change occurred as compared to the original quenching states. From tge measurement of in situ resistivity which increased gradually during low-temperature annealing, it seems that a metastable phase was formed by oxygen diffusion. The interchange of oxygen atoms between Bi2O2 and CuO2 planes and the possible ordering of oxygen vacancies were proposed to explain the relevant experimental phenomena. |
