Abstract
Processings of the P $b_2$S $r_2$( $Y_{1-x}$ C $a_{x}$) C $u_3$ $O_{8+{\delta}}$ (2213)system for x=0.4-0.6 to control deleterious oxidative decomposition have been studied. Our results show that comounds are stable at both low p $O_2$ and high p $O_2$ if they are suitably oxidized. Various oxidation and deoxidation procedures have been investigated in order tp determine the optimum hole concentration in the Cu $O_2$layers for the maximum $T_{c}$. In cases x=0.5 and x=0.6, the optimum hole concentration in the 2213-phase is achieved, but with accelerated oxidative decomposition. Destite this, the maximum $T_{c}$~80-83K for the 2213-phase can be deduced when x=0.5 to 0.6 to 0.6
