Abstract
The partial substitution of Sr in TlSr2CaCu2O7-δ with the rare-earth element Pr has the advantage to stablize the tetragonal phase with space group P4/mmm. The Tc value and the superconducting volume fraction increase with increasing Pr concentration up to x=0.5 (Tc=80 K) then decrease. Enhancement of superconductivity by Pr ions in the inherent “over-hole-doping” of the parent TlSr2CaCu2O7-δ compound suggests that the magnetic-pair-breaking effect is very small in this system.
