Partial substitution of Pb for Bi in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system has been found to sharply increase the volume fraction of the high-Tc phase when both the starting material (coprecipitated oxalate being used in the present study) and the heating process are appropriate. The sharp powder X-ray diffraction pattern obtained from well-grown particles, 5∼10 µm wide and 0.5 µm thick typically, was assigned to an orthorhombic cell with a=0.537 nm, b=2.682 nm, and c=3.726 nm. The electrical resistance dropped to zero at 107 K within the experimental limit of 10-6 Ω. A large diamagnetic response in the ac susceptibility due to the Meissner effect was seen below 120 K. The dominance of the high-Tc phase over the low-Tc phase was roughly estimated at 9/1 in volume.
