Polycrystalline Bi-2212 superconductors as granular superconductors are fascinating materials owing to their unusual electrical properties caused by defect interfaces including structure inhomogeneities and grain boundaries In order to reveal the origin of granular superconductivity granular superconductivity in doped superconductors (Bi1 xLax)(2)Sr2CaCu2O8+delta (x=0 002 004 006 and 0 08) is systematically investigated by resistance measurement Normal state resistance gradually evolves a truly-metallic state into a disordered-metallic state as La concentration increases Characteristic two stage transition is obviously observed in the superconducting state of all the samples Two types of characteristic temperature decrease with increasing La concentration According to percolation model it can be derived from the gradual Increase of both structure inhomogeneities and grain boundaries Finally a model about the electrical path is reflected in the relation between granular superconductivity and electrical transport properties of granular Bi-2212 by homovalent substitution (C) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved
