Nb Substitution Effects on Superconducting Properties of Ru1−xNbxSr2Eu1.4Ce0.6Cu2O10−δ by J. L. Maldonado-Mejía, J. D. Quiz-Celestino, M. E. Botello-Zubiate, S. A. Palomares-Sánchez, J. A. Matutes-Aquino

“…In order to gain further insight into the role of substitution of Ru by Nb on superconductivity, polycrystalline samples of Ru1−xNbxSr2Eu1.4Ce0.6Cu2O10−δ  (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 1.0) have been synthesized by solid-state reaction method. Substitution of Nb at the Ru site in the system takes place isostructurally in the tetragonal structure (space group I4/mmm) with full solubility (x = 1.0). …”
