Materials and Properties

Tl:1223; [Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O]
Material Specification for Tl:1223; [Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O] Process: Solid State Reaction
Notes: "The samples were prepared using reagent grade oxides (Tl2O3, CuO) and carbonates (CaCO3, BaCO3) in quantities to satisfy the nominal composition 2223. Nevertheless, the dominant phase was the 115 K 1223 phase."

Informal Name: Tl:1223
Chemical Family: Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O
Chemical Class: Oxide
Structure Type: Polycrystalline
Manufacturer: In House
Commercial Name: In House

Resistivity (normal state) for Tl:1223; [Tl-Ba-Ca-Cu-O]
Temperature (K) Resistivity (normal state) (mΩ·cm)
89 0.0
101 0.0
107 1.8
111 6.5
116 9.0
200 15.9
260 20.4
Measurement Method: Four-probe method
"... the parallelepiped shape sample, 1 x 4 x 13 mmm3, was clip-linked to a heat sink to one of its end while a heater was attached to the other end. The temperature gradient was measured by means of an Fe doped Au vs chromel thermocouple. The four-probe arrangement was done over silver sputtered bars on the sample to improve both thermal and electric contacts. A single set-up allows measurements of the resistivity and thermopower simultaneously with the thermal conductivity. For temperatures lower than 25 K the classical steady-state method was used. Above this temperature a dynamical method was used."
