摘要
X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, energy dispersive X-ray, electrical resistivity and AC-magnetic susceptibility measurements have been performed for polycrystalline superconducting samples of type TIBa2Ca2_xSCxCU309_δ （0.0 ≤ x 〈 0.6）. The powder X-ray diffractograms indicate that the tetragonal structure of T1-1223 is not affected by Sc-substitution whereas the lattice parameters are changed. The X-ray analysis indicates that the low-contents of scandium （x） enhance the formation of T1-1223 and reduce the secondary phases. The grain-size determined by SEM decreases as x increases. The electrical resistivity measurements show suppression in the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, and an increase in both the residual resistivity and the superconducting transition width as x increases. The suppression in Tc is attributed to the hole-filling mechanism.
