The reproducible production of pure superconducting Ba2YCu3Ox

  • 1. New York State Coll. of Ceramics, Alfred (USA)

Description

A systematic study involving the effects of temperatures and different atmospheres on the formation of Ba2YCu3Ox was performed. The gases used were oxygen, air, nitrogen, carbon-dioxide and carbon-monoxide. The solid state synthesis procedure employed gave an XRD pattern which indexed phase pure in the orthorhombic system. A narrow temperature range for calcining was found to be the most crucial parameter for obtaining reproducible and phase pure superconducting powder. The results of this work offer significant suggestions for the processing of Ba2YCu3Ox. 8 refs
