Abstract

Novel superconductive Pb-substituted oxides are disclosed. The oxides all have layered perovskite-like crystal structure, and manifest superconductivity (R=o) above about 77K. The materials are described by the nominal formula X.sub.2+x M.sub.3-x Cu.sub.2 O.sub.8.+-..delta., where X is Bi and Pb, M is Sr and Ca, 0.ltoreq..times..ltoreq.0.3, 0.ltoreq..delta..ltoreq.0.5, the Pb/Bi ratio is between about 0.2 and about 0.5, and the Sr/Ca ratio is between 0.5 and 2.
