Abstract

Two classes of samples, designated A and B, of layered Bi–Sr–Ca–Cu oxides having the same nominal composition 4 : 3 : 3 : 4, but different thermal histories, were investigated by using field modulated microwave absorption (ESR), powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and x-ray absorption near the edge structure (XANES). Previous electrical resistivity measurements showed that the B samples presented only two superconducting phases with midpoints of the transition temperatures at ∼80 K and ∼105 K. The microwave absorption technique indicated instead the presence of islands which became superconducting at the above-mentioned temperatures also in the A samples. The crystalline and electronic structures of the two types of samples are illustrated and discussed. A plausible theoretical interpretation of the experimental results, based on a quantum percolation model with Coulomb interaction, is also given.
