The effect of the substitution of 3{ital d} metals (Fe, Co, Ni, and Zn) for Cu in a high-temperature superconductor Bi{sub 2}(Sr,Ca){sub 3}Cu{sub 2}O{sub {ital y}} was investigated by measuring lattice constants, dc resistivity, Hall effect, and magnetic susceptibilities in normal and superconducting phases. For all kinds of impurities, within the composition range where the single-phase samples are synthesized, the superconducting transition temperature {ital T}{sub {ital c}} was found to decrease with increasing impurity concentration. Even nonmagnetic Zn was found to decrease {ital T}{sub {ital c}}, as well as, magnetic Fe, Co, and Ni, without changing the hole concentration. These behaviors cannot be explained by the Abrikosov-Gorkov theory for conventional BCS superconductors. Possible explanations are discussed.
