The result of x-ray diffraction shows that the specimen is pure, and the lattice parameters decrease continuously in the semiconducting range, whereas it vibrates similarly to a sine wave in the superconducting range, which is ascribed to the existence of oxygen vacancies and the function of breathing modes of Bi(Pb)O6.

Raman spectra show that the specimen becomes disorder when x increases, and the critical temperature To depends not only on the deformation potential of the soft A19 mode derived from the Bi(Pb)O6 rigid rotation, but also on the energy shift of the mode.展开更多
