Superconductivity in Perovskite Ba(1-x)Ln(x)(Bi0.20Pb0.80)O3-delta (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu)
Solid solutions Ba(1-x)Ln(x)(Bi0.20Pb0.80)O3-delta (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu; 0.00 <= x less than or similar to 0.15) have been prepared under 850 degrees C. They all crystallize in space group P1 at room temperature. XPS data indicate that the valences are 5+ and 3+ for bismuth, 4+ and 2+ for lead, and 3+ or 4+ for lanthanide. Some of them are superconductors. The superconductive transition temperature T-c(zero) decreases or remains constant with an increase of Ln in the sample when Ln = La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu. However, Tczero first decreases, then increases, and finally decreases when Ln = Ce, Pr, which is due to the corresponding sample changes from hole-doped to electron-doped superconductors with an increase of Ce or Pr in the sample.
