Abstract

The effects of Pr substitution on the structural and the superconducting properties for Pb-based 1201 cuprates with compositions of $(Pb_{0.5-x}Pr_xCd_{0.5})SrLaCuO_z(0{\leq}x{\leq}0.25)$ and $(Pb_{0.45}Pr_{0.05}Cd_{0.5})(Sr_{1-y}La_{1+y})CuO_z(0{\leq}y{\leq}0.1)$ were investigated. It is found that $T_c$ decreases as the Pr-doping content x increases in the $(Pb_{0.5-x}Pr_xCd_{0.5})SrLaCuO_z$ samples, whereas $T_c$ of $(Pb_{0.45}Pr_{0.05}Cd_{0.5})(Sr_{1-y}La_{1+y})CuO_z$ samples increases as the La-doping content y increases. The experimental results were discussed in connection with the change in hole concentration of the samples.
