Abstract

We have synthesized nearly single-phase HgBa₂CuO_4+δ samples with various oxygen contents, and systematically investigated the relationship between the lattice parameters, the superconductivity transition temperature (T_c) and the oxygen content determined by iodometry. Furthermore, the nominal copper valence values were calculated from the oxygen content data by assuming constant valence values of +2.00 and -2.00 for mercury and oxygen, respectively. Both the a and c lattice parameters were found to decrease monotonically with the Cu valence over a wide range of +2.05-2.28. The obtained T_c versus Cu valence curve exhibits a "bell shaped" correlation with the maximum in T_c at the Cu valence of ∼ +2.18.
