Superconductivity  in  the  T1-Ba-Ca-Cu-O  system  was  first  reported  by 
Sheng and Hermann  (1988b).  The T1-2223 compound was identified  by Politis 
and  Luo  (1988)  and  Parkin 
et  al. 
(1988a),  and  the  first  structural  refinement 
indicated partial disorder of T1  and Ca (Torardi 
et  al., 
1988b). The Ca site was 
also  found to be partly occupied by thallium atoms (3-7 at.%) in Hervieu 
et al. 
(1998b), Morosin 
et al. 
(199 lb), and Sinclair 
et al. 
(1994).  Vacancies  on the T1 
site (occupancy 0.88-0.94) were considered in Hervieu 
et al. 
(1988b), Morosin 
et 
al.  (1991 
b), and Ogbome 
et al. 
(1992a),  whereas partial substitution of T1 by Cu 
(14 at.%) was reported by Sinclair 
et al. 
(1994). The O site in the 
additional 
layers was 
found to be displaced from the ideal position in Ogbome 
et al. 
(1992a) and Morosin 
et 
al. 
(1991 b) (16(n)  0.6112 89 0.2753, occupancy 0.234), whereas both the T1 and the 
O  site  in  the 
additional 
layers  were  split  in  Sinclair 
et  al. 
(1994)  (T1  in 
16(m) 0.0276 0.0276 0.27921  and O in 16(m) 0.5819 0.5819 0.2756, occupancy 
0.215 and 0.25). 
The  compound with the  superconducting  transition temperature  of 105 K 
(Maeda 
et  al., 
1988) was  identified  as  Bi-2223  (Zandbergen 
et  al., 
1988d; 
Takayama-Muromachi 
et  al., 
1988b; Ikeda 
et  al., 
1988a) and can be  stabilized 
by Pb (Hetherington 
et al., 
1988; Endo 
et al., 
1988). A pseudotetragonal  subcell 
(a =  b -- 5.41, c =  37.09 A) and an incommensurate modulation with a transla- 
tion period of~ 8.7a were reported for Bil.73Pbo.35Srl.89Cal.86Cu309.91 (Ikeda 
et 
al., 
1988b). The orthorhombic  space groups 
Fmmm 
(Hetherington 
et al., 
1988), 
Amaa 
(Kijima 
et al., 
1989; Carrilo-Cabrera and G6pel, 1989), and 
A2aa 
(Carrilo- 
Cabrera and G6pel,  1989; Miehe 
et al., 
1990) were used to describe the structure 
of (Bi,Pb)-2223. The structural refinement in Kijima 
et al. 
(1989) showed that Pb 
mainly substitutes  for Bi, but also for Sr and Ca (A, B, and C site, respectively). 
An extra O site in the 
additional 
BiO layers, corresponding to the excess oxygen, 
was found by Miehe 
et aL  (1990).
