Popis: Systematic studies of the Bi-2212 superconducting phase, substituting at the Cu-site by Fe and Co, have been carried out on an off-stoichiometric composition Bi 2.1 Sr 1.93 Ca 0.97 (Cu 2 − x M x )O 8 + y (M = Fe, Co; 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.12 for Fe and 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 0.1 for Co). For the x = 0 phase, T c,zero values in the range 74–76 K have been obtained consistently. X-ray diffraction studies show that the solid solubility exists up to x = 0.12 for M = Fe and x = 0.1 for M = Co. A monotonic decrease in T c with increasing dopant concentration is observed from resistivity as well as AC susceptibility measurements, and the results are discussed.
