Chapter 10, Problem 90E

The structures of another class of ceramic, high-temperature superconductors are shown in figures a-d.

a. Determine the formula of each of these four superconductors.

b. One of the structural features that appears to be essential for high-temperature superconductivity is the presence of planar sheets of copper and oxygen atoms. As the number of sheets in each unit cell increases, the temperature for the onset of superconductivity increases. Order the four structures from lowest to the highest superconducting temperature.

c. Assign oxidation states to Cu in each structure assuming Tl exists as Tl3+. The oxidation states of Ca, Ba, and O are assumed to be + 2, + 2, and −2, respectively.

d. It also appears that copper must display a mixture of oxidation states for a material to exhibit superconductivity. Explain how this occurs in these materi.als as well as in the superconductor in Exercise 87.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The formula, order of thermal conductivity and oxidation states of elements of given high-temperature superconductors are should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

  • In packing of atoms/ions in a crystal structure, they are imagined as spheres. The two major types of close packing of the spheres in the crystal are hexagonal close packing and cubic close packing.
  • In edge-centered cubic unit cell, the eight corners is occupied by single atom and shared by 8 unite calls and the 12 edges are having 12 atoms and shared by 4 unites center of the cube is occupied by one atom.
  • In the In face-centered cubic unit cell, the eight corners is occupied by single atom and shared by 8 unite calls and the 6 faces are having 6 atoms and shared by 2 unites, center of the cube is occupied by one atom.
