Schematic layered structure of TBCCO-2223.

Thallium barium calcium copper oxide, or TBCCO (pronounced "tibco"), is a family of high-temperature superconductors having the generalized chemical formula TlmBa2Can−1CunO2n+m+2.

Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 (TBCCO-2223) was discovered in Allen M. Hermann's laboratory in the physics department of the University of Arkansas in October 1987 by the post-doctoral researcher Zhengzhi Sheng.[1] The bulk superconductivity in this material was confirmed by observations of magnetic flux expulsion and flux trapping signals (under zero field cooled and field cooled conditions) with a SQUID magnetometer in the superconductor laboratory of Timir Datta in the University of South Carolina.[2] Allen Hermann announced his discovery and the critical temperature (Tc) of 127 K, in Houston, Texas at the World Congress on Superconductivity organized by Paul Chu in February 1988.
