Abstract
Calcium substitution in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system at elevated P() results in superconducting compounds with novel and enhanced properties: tetragonal with =86 K for x=0.2 prepared at P()=16 bars, and (1:2:4) with =89 K for x=0.1 prepared at 50–200 bars. Calcium substitution shifts the phase-stability boundary between 1:2:3, 2:4:7, and 1:2:4 phases to higher P(), and stabilizes a tetragonal 1:2:3 structure at moderately elevated P() without substantial decrease in . The of 1:2:4 increases with Ca substitution up to x=0.1, and then decreases gradually for larger x, possibly because of excessive hole concentration.
