A model for the superstructure of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8.2

TLDR
In this paper, a model for the superstructure of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8.2 was proposed, which involves the addition of one in ten oxygen atoms in the BiO planes and a displacement of the surrounding atoms.
Abstract
A model is proposed for the superstructure of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8.2 . It involves the addition of one in ten oxygen atoms in the BiO planes and a displacement of the surrounding atoms. This model is consistent with electron microscope, neutron and X-ray diffraction data. In particular it is consistent with the symmetry determined by convergent beam electron diffraction and with details of the high resolution electron microscope image contrast.

Structural modulation and superconducting properties in Bi2-xPbxSr2CaCu2O8+d and Bi2-yPbySr2YCu2O8+d

TL;DR: In this article, changes in the structural modulation and the superconducting properties were examined in Bi 2- x Pb x Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+ d and Bi 2 - y Pb y Sr 2 YCu 2O 8+d systems, the b-axis decreased and the periodicity of the structur al modulation along the b -axis increased with increasing Pb content.

Structure and properties of (Bi, Pb)2Sr2(Ca, Y)Cu2O8+δ

TL;DR: In this article, the balance between the Pb-type and Bi-type modulation is very delicate, and probably depends on the distribution of the excess oxygen in the two (Bi, Pb)O layers.

Crystal substructure and physical properties of the superconducting phase Bi4(Sr,Cr)6Cu4O16+x.

TL;DR: A high-T/sub c/ phase in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system of composition with similarities to both the oxygen-defect perovskites YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/..sqrt../sub x/ is isolated and the Meissner effect is due to a superconducting transition.

Models for the modulation in A2B2CanCu1+nO6+2n, A, B=Bi, Sr OR Tl, Ba and n=0, 1, 2

TL;DR: In this paper, a number of models for the modulation in the title compounds are postulated and the best agreement with experimental data is obtained for the model with extra oxygen in the BiO layers.

The Incommensurate Modulation of the 2212 Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O Superconductor

TL;DR: A newly discovered feature of the Bi2Sr3-xCaxCu2O8+y structure is sizable Cu displacement, which is related to static wave formation in the Cu-O sheets, which gives evidence that similar distortions occur on cooling of the thallium-containing superconductors.
