7) P57). However, in this oxide superconductor, the oxygen content changes under the heat treatment conditions, and accordingly, a tetragonal-orthorhombic structure phase transition occurs. It is known that the superconducting transition temperature greatly changes from 90K to 0K (insulator) due to this phase transition (Phys. Rev. B36 (1987) P5719).
