Seven ABO/sub 3/ type-structure superconducting oxides Sr/sub 0.4/Y/sub 0.6/CuO/sub 3-//sub y/ and Ba/sub 0.4/Ln/sub 0.6/CuO/sub 3-//sub y/ (Ln is Y, Tm, Dy, Gd, Er and Yb, respectively) have been successfully synthesized, the zero-resistance temperatures of which exceed 90 K. The resistivity measurements show that both the R(T) behavior and the T/sub c/ superconducting transition of each sample agree, although the component atoms A in each oxide are obviously different in their outer shell electrons. However the a.c. susceptibility measurements show the difference of M(T) behavior in the normal state which might be due to the difference of the magnetic atoms A. We argue that the Cu-O bonds within the ABO/sub 3/ type structural frame play an important role in the electronic properties in these superconducting oxides. There is a strong interaction between the electrons in this structure. The magnetic scattering of electrons is not strong enough to destroy the high T/sub c/ superconductivity.
