摘要
The superconducting properties of mercury cuprates are extremely sensitive to compression. The highest transition temperatures obtained up to date have been measured on Hg-1223 at 25-30 Gpa (T-c similar to 164 K at the onset) and imply an increase of about 20 K with respect to the ambient pressure T-c0. We report here the largest total pressure effect (> 50 K over a span of 20 GPa) ever observed for several samples of bi-mercury layer Hg2Ba2(Y1-xCax)Cu2O8-delta compositions. Different Ca doping levels give different initial T(c)s but retain the same strong pressure dependence. The large T-c increase with pressure for all the Hg-based compounds, independently of their doping level, is revealing the existence of a common structural parameter, which identification will be a guide for future synthesis efforts of record-high T-c materials.
