Abstract

Previous researches on underdoped and overdoped Bi-2212 superconductor have shown that its mechanism follows the polarons-bipolarons theory of superconductivity. In this study, a chemically pressurized Bi-2212 compounds was synthesized and characterized. It was observed that phase analysis reveals the unique route of electron flow within the polycrystalline sample. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) shows the presence of static and dynamic localizations that proves the possibly presence of Bose-Einstein condensation of inter-site bipolarons. This study on chemically pressurized Bi2Ba2Tb0.5Cu2O4+y compound has shown that the generation and dynamics of polarons and bipolarons are associated to the pentavalent post-transition nature of bismuth.
