Abstract

High resolution transmission electron microscopic observations on the $Hg_{1-x}\;Tl_{x}\;Ba_{2}(Ca_{0.86}\;Sr_{0.14})_{2}\;Cu_{3}\;O_{8+\delta}$(x=0.00, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75) were carried out using side-entry type TEM working at 300 kV. The TEM samples are prepared by powder method. The pellets are crushed in agatar motar and suspended in $CCl_4$, solution and scooped in holely carbon microgrid. The 1223 structures are observed in all samples with [010] zone axis. Except x=0.25 sample, the lattice parameter a and c tend to decrease as the thallium contents are increased ranging from 0.3936 nm to 0.3713 nm for a, and from 1.6131 nm to 1.5138 nm for c parameter. Those of x=0.25 sample are reduced too much, 0.3785 nm for a, 1.5375 nm for c. The sample with x=0.25 shows the intergrowth of 1223 and 1234 structure with the ratio of 19 to 1. As the thallium content increases, the structures become more stable without having any defect. The samples are damaged by electron beam irradiation during the observation, however the structure can endure longer as the thallium contents are increased.

이상과 같은 실험결과를 다음과 같은 요약할 수 있다. 1) $Hg_{1-x}\;Tl_{x}\;Ba_{2}(Ca_{0.86}\;Sr_{0.14})_{2}\;Cu_{3}\;O_{8+\delta}$의 구조는 Hg-1223과 같은 구조를 이루며 Hg 위치에 T1이 치환되어 있음을 알 수 있다. 2) 격자상수는 탈륨이 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 나타냈으나 x=0.25 시료에서는 현저히 감소됨을 보였다. 3) x=0.25 시료에서는 적층 결함 1234구조가 1223구조와 intergrowth함을 보였고 불순물 상이 다소 나타났다. 4) 탈륨이 증가할 수록 보다 치밀하고 결함이 없는 안정된 조직을 보였다. 5) 모든 시료가 관찰 도중 전자빔에 대하여 손상되었으나 탈륨의 양이 증가할 수록 손상에 대한 저항이 커져 보다 안정된 상을 보였다.
