Abstract

Complete stabilization of crystals of the high-Tc superconducting oxide (PbBi)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10, which is characterized by a Tc of 110 K and space group of A2aa, has been achieved by synthesizing the material in an FeO-doped CuO flux. The resulting crystals formed with a chemically inert FeO surface layer appear resistant to further etching or degradation at room temperature and atmosphere.
