Abstract

We report on a novel precursor technique to produce highly pure and homogeneous cuprate based high-Tc superconductors based on the formation of a polymer metal complex in which various metal ions in desired stoichiometric ratio can be uniformly dispersed. Application of the polymerized complex method is demonstrated on the ceramic synthesis of polycrystalline compounds viz. YBa2Cu3Oy, YBa2Cu4Oy, Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy and Bi2Sr2Ca0.8Cu2Oy. The superconducting properties were studied with complex magnetic susceptibility measurements which exhibited sharp superconducting transitions without any indication of two-phase character. The materials fabricated by this method showed improved properties compared to those for ceramic samples of previously reported synthesis procedures.
