Abstract

Mercury-thallium based superconductors with the formula Hg1-x Tlx Ba2 (Ca1-y Sry)2 Cu3 O8+δ ; change "their preparing method, in particular characterized in that it" to and a method for preparing them. The new superconductors are prepared by reacting respective ternary oxides, such as Ba2 CuO3+x and Ca1-y Sry CuO2, to reduce the formation of an impure phase and by substituting thallium (Ti) a portion of the mercury (Hg) conventionally used in mercury-based superconductors of similar structure, in order to thermally stabilize the superconductor and provide it with a high critical current density characteristic.
