Abstract

We report measurements of electrical resistivity and Hall voltage on Tl2Ba2Ca(1-x)Y(x)Cu2O8+y samples as a function of temperature for different values of x (0 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 0.6). A metal-insulator (M-I) transition is observed in the system at x = 0.48, which corresponds to a hole concentration p of 0.03/Cu-ion. In the insulating samples (x > 0.48) at low temperatures, the conduction is governed by a two-dimensional variable-range-hopping mechanism and a crossover to three-dimensional variable-range hopping occurs as the M-I transition is approached. Superconductivity appears in the vicinity of the M-I transition (p greater-than-or-equal-to 0.03). The T(c) versus p curve is linear in the range (0.03-0.12)/Cu ion. Maximum T(c) (85 K) is observed for p = 0.12/Cu ion.
