These crystals grow with the c-axis perpendicular to their platelet-like surface, with a cation composition, as determined by wavelength dispersive X-ray analysis (WDXA), strongly deficient in Sr. Their transport properties, which rank from semiconducting/insulating or metallic to superconducting, can be altered by changing the growth ambient (either N2, air or O2) as well as by choosing different annealing treatments. © 1991.}, year = {1991}, journal = {Physica C: Superconductivity and its applications}, volume = {175}, number = {3-4}, pages = {261-268}, issn = {09214534}, doi = {10.1016/0921-4534(91)90596-Q}, note = {cited By 17}, language = {eng}, }
