Superconductivity in the T1-Ba-Ca-Cu-O system was first reported by
Sheng and Hermann (1988b). The T1-2223 compound was identified by Politis
and Luo (1988) and Parkin
et al.
(1988a), and the first structural refinement
indicated partial disorder of T1 and Ca (Torardi
et al.,
1988b). The Ca site was
also found to be partly occupied by thallium atoms (3-7 at.%) in Hervieu
et al.
(1998b), Morosin
et al.
(199 lb), and Sinclair
et al.
(1994). Vacancies on the T1
site (occupancy 0.88-0.94) were considered in Hervieu
et al.
(1988b), Morosin
et
al. (1991
b), and Ogbome
et al.
(1992a), whereas partial substitution of T1 by Cu
(14 at.%) was reported by Sinclair
et al.
(1994). The O site in the
additional
layers was
found to be displaced from the ideal position in Ogbome
et al.
(1992a) and Morosin
et
al.
(1991 b) (16(n) 0.6112 89 0.2753, occupancy 0.234), whereas both the T1 and the
O site in the
additional
layers were split in Sinclair
et al.
(1994) (T1 in
16(m) 0.0276 0.0276 0.27921 and O in 16(m) 0.5819 0.5819 0.2756, occupancy
0.215 and 0.25).
The compound with the superconducting transition temperature of 105 K
(Maeda
et al.,
1988) was identified as Bi-2223 (Zandbergen
et al.,
1988d;
Takayama-Muromachi
et al.,
1988b; Ikeda
et al.,
1988a) and can be stabilized
by Pb (Hetherington
et al.,
1988; Endo
et al.,
1988). A pseudotetragonal subcell
(a = b -- 5.41, c = 37.09 A) and an incommensurate modulation with a transla-
tion period of~ 8.7a were reported for Bil.73Pbo.35Srl.89Cal.86Cu309.91 (Ikeda
et
al.,
1988b). The orthorhombic space groups
Fmmm
(Hetherington
et al.,
1988),
Amaa
(Kijima
et al.,
1989; Carrilo-Cabrera and G6pel, 1989), and
A2aa
(Carrilo-
Cabrera and G6pel, 1989; Miehe
et al.,
1990) were used to describe the structure
of (Bi,Pb)-2223. The structural refinement in Kijima
et al.
(1989) showed that Pb
mainly substitutes for Bi, but also for Sr and Ca (A, B, and C site, respectively).
An extra O site in the
additional
BiO layers, corresponding to the excess oxygen,
was found by Miehe
et aL (1990).
