摘要
The rubidium tungsten bronzes RbxWO3 have been prepared from Rb2CO3, WO3 and W powders using hybrid microwave method. The single hexagonal phase samples can be obtained as actual rubidium content x in the range of 0.21-0.33, and their lattice parameters a and c linearly drop and rise with the increase of rubidium content respectively. For samples with x = 0.14, 0.16, 0.18, the superconducting transition temperature T. from resistivity measurements does not change with the rubidium content, while T, from susceptibility measurements shows a decrease from 5.3 K for x = 0.14 to 4.8 K for x = 0.18. The charge density wave (CDW) transition appears in Rb0.21WO3, Rb0.23WO3 and Rb0.25WO3 at about 200-260 K. The CDW transition is most obvious in Rb0.23WO3 which shows the lowest degree of crystallization among the samples. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
