Abstract

Novel superconducting thallium cuprates of the type TlCa1−XLnXSr2Cu2O6+δ (Ln=Y or rare earth), TlSrn+1−xLnxCunOY and Tl1−xPbXSrn+1Cun08+δ are described. These cuprates as well as Bi2Ca1−xLnxSr2Cu2O8+δ and TlCa1−xYxBa2Cu2O6+δ show maximum T around a specific composition or oxygen content. They also show interesting changes in the sign and magnitude of the thermopower with the composition. Specially noteworthy is the negative slope of the thermopower-temperature plots. The thermopower behaviour in these two-band systems can be understood in terms of entropie and quasiparticle contributions. It appears that Tl1−xPbxCaSr2Cu2O6+δ is a genuine high T electron superconductor.
