Abstract

To understand the effects of Cd substitution for Cu, $(Pb_{0.5}Cu_{0.5-x}Cd_x)Sr_2(Ca_{0.7}Y_{0.3})Cu_2O_z$ (x = 0 ~ 0.5) compounds were synthesized and the structural and superconducting properties of the compounds were characterized. Resistivity data revealed that superconducting transition temperature rises initially up to x = 0.25 and then decreases as the Cd doping content increases. Room-temperature thermoelectric power decreases at first up to x = 0.25 and then increases with higher Cd doping content, indicating that the change in $T_c$ is mainly caused by the change in the hole concentration on the superconducting planes by the Cd doping. The non-monotonic dependence of the lattice parameters and the transition temperature with Cd doping content is discussed in connection with the possible formation of $Pb^{+2}$ ions and the removal of excess oxygen caused by Cd substitution in the charge reservoir layer. A correlation between transition temperature and c/a lattice parameter ratio was observed for the $(Pb_{0.5}Cu_{0.5-x}Cd_x)Sr_2(Ca_{0.7}Y_{0.3})Cu_2O_z$ system.
