(Bi0.33Cd0.67)Sr2YCu2O7-delta can be synthesized single phase by XRD, between 800 and 950 degrees C. It has a tetragonal structure, space group P4/mmm, and lattice parameters a = 3.802 Angstrom and c = 11.96 Angstrom. The Cd site can be fully replaced with an appropriate M-II ion and the Y site can be chemically substituted up to 100% by lanthanide ions with ionic radii falling between those of Nd and Gd, with a measurable shift in a and c axis lattice parameters. As synthesized, (Bi0.33Cd0.67)Sr2YCu2O7-delta is semiconducting and paramagnetic down to 4 K. Superconductivity can be induced by a post-synthesis annealing in high pressure oxygen to give T-c = 40 K. Thermopower measurements show that the material is underdoped with S-290K = 50 mu VK-1. Introduction of extra charge carriers to raise T-c by doping Ca on the Y site is not chemically possible with the synthesis techniques used.
