SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention provides novel superconducting compositions having the nominal formula Tl •PbaCa.

Preferably, the sum of a+e is about 1, b is about 2 , c is about 2 , d is from about 3 to about 4 and y is from about 1/2 to about 2. The onset of superconductivity for these compositions is at least 70 K. This invention includes novel superconducting compositions having the nominal formula TlPbaCa D. SrcCUα.Ox wherein a is from about , o a ou , c is from about 1 to about 3, d is from about 1 to about 5 and x « (a + b + c + d + y) where y is from about 1/2 to about 3. Preferably, a is about 1, b is from about 1 to about 2, c is about 1, d is from about 3 to about 4 and y is from about 1/2 to about 2. The onset of superconductivity for these compositions is at least 70 K. These superconducting compositions are prepared by heating a mixture of the Tl, Pb, Ca, Sr and Cu oxides, the relative amounts chosen so that the atomic ratio Tl:Pb:Ca:Sr:Cu is e:a:b:c:d, at a temperature of about 850 β C to about 940°C, preferably about 860°C to about 925°C for about -3 to 12 hours in a confined atmosphere, e. g., in a sealed tube made of a non-reacting metal such as gold which prevents any of the reactants including the metals and oxygen from escaping. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 shows a plot of the flux excluded by a composition of this invention as a function of temperature. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The superconducting compositions of this invention are prepared by the following process. Quantities of the oxide reactants Tl 2 0 3 , Pb0 2 , Ca0 2 , Sr0 2 and CuO are chosen with the atomic ratio of Tl:Pb:Ca:Sr:Cu of e:a:b:c:d wherein a is from about 1/10 to about 3/2, b is from about 1 to about 4, c is from about 1 to about 3, d is from about 1 to about 5, e is from about 3/10 to about 1, and mixed, for example, by powder may then be heated directly or it can be first formed into a pellet or other shaped object and then heated. The superconducting composition of this invention is produced only when the atmosphere in which the reactants are heated is carefully controlled. One way to accomplish this controlled atmosphere is to place the reactants in a tube made of a non-reacting metal such as gold and then sealing the tube by welding. The sealed tube is then placed in a furnace and heated to about 850°C to about 940 β C for about 3 to 12 hours. The power to the furnace is then turned off and the tube is furnace-cooled to ambient temperature, about 20°C, and then removed from the furnace. The tube is then opened and the black product recovered. The compositions prepared in this manner exhibit the onset of superconductivity above 70 K. Two superconducting phases have been identified in these superconducting compositions. One phase, the "12 Angstrom phase", has an onset of superconductivity of about 85 K and lattice parameters of a = 0.380 nm and c = 1.21 nm as determined from X-ray powder diffraction results indexed on a tetragonal cell and the other phase, the "15 Angstrom phase", has an onset of superconductivity of about 120 K and lattice parameters of a = 0.380 nm and c - 1.52 nm as determined from X-ray powder diffraction results indexed on a tetragonal cell. Superconductivity can be confirmed by observing magnetic flux exclusion, i.e., the Meissner effect. This effect can be measured by the method described in an article by E. Polturak an . s er n ys ca ev ew , , 5586(1987). The superconducting compositions of this invention can be used to conduct current extremely efficiently or to provide a magnetic field for magnetic imaging for medical purposes. Thus, by cooling the composition in the form of a wire or bar to a temperature below the superconducting transition temperature, (T c ) by exposing the material to liquid nitrogen if T. is above 77K or to liquid, helium if T c is below 77K in a manner well known to those in this field; and initiating a flow of electrical current, one can obtain such flow without any electrical resistive losses. To provide exceptionally high magnetic fields with minimal power losses, the wire mentioned previously could be wound to form a coil which would be exposed to liquid helium or liquid nitrogen, depending on T c before inducing any current into the coil. Such fields can be used to levitate objects as large as railroad cars. These superconducting compositions are also useful in Josephson devices such as SQUIDS (superconducting quantum interference devices) and in instruments that are based on the Josephson effect such as high speed sampling circuits and voltage standards.
