Pressure Effects on the Physical and Magnetic Properties of MoSr2YCu2O8-δOxide Superconductor

We investigated the pressure dependence of the superconducting transition temperature T c of the MoSr 2 YCu 2 O 8-δ compound (Mo1212). Superconducting Mo1212 samples were synthesized by a solid-state reaction with multiple annealing processes. T c -onset of Mo1212 occurred at approximately 40 K at ambient pressure. The pressure dependence of T c was obtained as 3.3 K/GPa at least up to 8.7 GPa.
