Popis: This paper reports on a study to convert electrodeposited Tl-oxide films to Hg-1212 using the cation-exchange process. A two-layer electrodeposition process was used to prepare Tl–Ba–Ca–Cu–O films with Tl-1212 and Tl-2212 stoichiometry. Electrodeposited Tl-films were also deposited with Bi and Sr substituted for the Tl and Ba, respectively and also reacted using cation exchange to attempt formation of Hg-1212. The superconducting transition temperature for the “non-substituted” films improved from 97 to 120 K after the cation-exchange process with a critical current density exceeding 2×106 at 5 K in zero field. The cation-exchange process for the Bi, Sr substituted films appears to be more difficult with no marked improvement in superconducting properties.
