Recent claim of discovering above-room-temperature superconductivity(Tc≈400 K)at ambient pressure in copper doped apatite Pb10(PO4)6O has stimulated world-wide enthusiasm and impulse of motion.A lot of follow-up works have been carried out with controversial conclusions.To check whether superconductivity is really present or absent in the material,we need samples which should have a rather pure phase of Pb10-xCux(PO4)6O.Here we report the characterization results from the Pb10-xCux(PO4)6O with a fraction of about 97 wt.%inferred from the fitting to the X-ray diffraction pattern,if assuming Cu2S as the only impurity.The resistivity measurements show that it is a semiconductor characterized roughly by a ln(1/7)temperature dependence in wide temperature region without trace of superconductivity.Magnetization measurements show that it has a general ferromagnetic signal with a weak superparamagnetic background.Many grains of the sample show clear interactions with a NbFeB magnet.The detected Cu concentration is much lower than the expected nominal one.Our results show the absence of metallicity and superconductivity in Pb10_xCux(PO4)6O at ambient pressure,and suggest the presence of strong correlation effect.
