Abstract

Single phase Ba- free Sr-based YSr2Cu3-xMxO7+δ (M = Mo, W and Re) compounds have been stabilized by chemical doping. Superconductivity is observed for these phases in the range 30-45 K. X-ray diffraction studies suggest a relatively small orthorhombicity compared to Ba-analogue. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic investigations reveal that the stabilizing cations are in the hexavalent state. The observation of the higher oxidation state of M-ions accounts for the excess oxygen content in these phases which is in accordence with the diffraction results.
