Superconductivity at 93 K in a new mixed-phase Y-Ba-Cu-O compound system at ambient pressure

Abstract

A stable and reproducible superconductivity transition between 80 and 93 K has been unambiguously observed both resistively and magnetically in a new Y-Ba-Cu-0 compound system at ambient pressure. An estimated upper critical field H, 2(0) between 80 and 180 T was obtained.
