Abstract

The effects of transition metal dopants on superconductivity in samples of nominal composition Bi2CaSr2(Cu1-xMx)208+δ with M = Co, Fe, Ni and Zn have been investigated for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. Co and Fe additions progressively suppress the ? of the doped material and result in semiconducting behaviour for x ≤ 0.2. In the ranges 0 ≤ x ≤ .07 and near x = 1.0, x-ray diffraction reveals the samples are essentially single phase but are multiphase otherwise. Ni and Zn dopants have only a very slight effect on Tc; however, EDX analysis reveals these elements are not significantly Incorporated into the superconducting phase.
