Abstract
By exploring more than 30 compositions in a quaternary oxide system BiSrCaCuO, we have (1) confirmed the existance of superconductivity up to 114K and (2) located the composition range for the superconducting phase. Several compositions in the proximity of the BiSrCaCu compositions 6:5:3:6 and 2:2:1:2 revealed identical diffraction patterns, indicating a broad homogeneity range for the superconducting phase. The equilibrium phase exhibits a TC ∼ 86K. Depending upon the heat treatment conditions, multiple superconducting transitions at temperatures above and below 86K have been observed.
