Title: The oxygen potentials corresponding to the YBa sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub 6+x phase in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry; (United States)

Phase relations in the vicinity of the YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+x} in the CuO-rich part of the Y-Ba-Cu-O system were studied by the equilibration and quenching technique. At 950C, the system is characterized by the large number of solid four-phase combinations. The oxygen potential as a function of temperature for two four-phase combinations, i.e., YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+x} + BaCuO{sub 2} + BaCu{sub 2}O{sub 2} + Y{sub 2}BaCuO{sub 5} and YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+x} + BaCu{sub 2}O{sub 2} + Y{sub 2}BaCuO{sub 5} + Cu{sub 2}O, were studied by means of solid state EMF measurements. At higher oxygen potentials the pair of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+x} and Y{sub 2}BaCuO{sub 5} is stable in contact with BaCuO{sub 2}. At lower oxygen pressures this pair coexists in equilibrium with BaCu{sub 2}O{sub 2} or Cu{sub 2}O.
