Recently, in the investigations of superconductivity of the Y-Ba-Cu-O system, we mentioned that a transition exists at high temperature. The composition of the sample we used is Y/sub 0.4/Ba/sub 0.6/CuO/sub 3/minus//ital y//. It was sintered at 1273 K for 3 hrs and annealed at 973 K for 3 hrs. There are two jumps of resistance at 81 K and 245 K, respectively. The higher temperature jump from 220 K to 245 K we can explain in two ways. It is probably a superconducting transition with no zero resistance only because of the very small superconducting component. The other reason may be that there is a structural transformation caused by an unstable phase.
