Abstract

A new series of strontium-based (Hg, Mo)-1201 superconducting compounds has been synthesized. The highest Tc of the series (78 K) is found for the nominal composition (Hg0.85Mo0.15)Sr2CuO4+δ , with lattice constants: a=3.787 Å and c=8.844 Å . X-ray diffraction and SEM with EDX analysis confirm that Hg and Mo are indeed incorporated in the structure. High-pressure oxygenation at 250 bar and 325° C, and also at 1 bar, reduces the Tc indicating that the samples are overdoped. The a-axis increases and c-axis decreases with increasing Mo concentration, suggesting that Mo substitutes in the Hg-O layer rather than in the CuO2 layer.
