7/23/2019 Effect of Ba, CA and Pb on the C-lattice Parameter of Bscco Films

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/effect-of-ba-ca-and-pb-on-the-c-lattice-parameter-of-bscco-films 4/4

G. Balestrino et aL / Effect of Ba Ca and Pb on the C-latticeparameter 9

which, according to the X-ray spectrum, must be

less than 1 of the sample in volume. The lattice

parameter was then measured to be c=24.24 A. This

shows that the effect of Ca substitution in the 2201

phase is to decrease the value of the c-latt ice

parameter w ith respect to the undoped film . The

difference Ac=0.27 A be tw ee n the two latt ice

parameters is about twice the one expected for the

2212 phase when the calcium content varies of 0.18

afu.

4. CONCLUSIONS

We have shown that the LPE technique is suitable

for growing do ped films of bo th the 2212 and the

2201 phase of BSCCO. Pb and Ba have been

substituted into the 2212 phase, and Ca in the 2201

phase. The effects of such substitutions on the

c-lattice parameter have be en measu red.
