ABSTRACTMelt spinning was used to rapidly quench V2CrA11-xBx and Ti3Nb6Mo3Si4 alloys. Melt spinning had very little effect on the crystal structure of the V2CrA11-xBx alloys. However, a new (NbTiMo)3 Si A–15 phase was found by rapid quenching of the Ti3Nb6Mo3Si4 alloys; the lattice parameter was 5.08 Å. Melt spinning increased the Vickers microhardness values of the V2CrA11-xBx alloys from 500 to 750, and of the Ti3Nb6Mo3Si4 alloys from 1000 to as high as 1675. Melt spinning increased the superconducting transition temperature of the Ti3Nb6Mo3Si4 alloys from 1.9 to 3.4K.

The composition dependence of superconductivity and crystal structure in La ( Ba 1−x Ca x)2 Cu 3 O 7−y system was determined by the resistivity measurements and X-ray diffraction analysis. The superconducting transition temperature is raised with the increase of Ca content till x=0.6, at which the zero resistance temperature of the sample is 81.5 K. In the meanwhile, the crystal structure of the sample changed from tetragonal (x=0) to orthorhombic structure (x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6). With further increase of Ca content, the superconductivity decrease for the sample of x=0.8 with mixed phases including the orthorhombic oxygen-deficient perovskite-like (ODP) structure and no superconducting transition is found at 4.2 K for the sample of x=1 without the ODP structure. A possible explanation of these experimental results is given.
