CHANGE OF STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS IN IODINE INTERCALATED Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O SINGLE CRYSTAL

superconductors. The cell dimension along c direction is expanded from 30.80 to 37.78 after iodine is intercalated. They suggested that an iodinelayer addition with 3.5 thickness is inserted into the host crystal perpendicular to c direction. The transition temperature of the host superconductor is ranged from 82 to 90 K. A
