Abstract: | Phase relations in the systems SrO-Y2O3-CuO-O2 and CaO-Y2O3-CuO-O2 at 1173 K were estab-lished by equilibrating different compositions in flowing oxygen gas at a pressure of 1.01 × 105 Pa. The quenched samples were examined by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dis-persive analysis of X-rays (EDAX), and electron spin resonance (ESR). In the system SrO-Y2O3-CuO-O2, except for the limited substitution of Y3+ for Sr2+ ions in the ternary oxide Sr14 Cu24O41, no new quaternary phase was found to be stable. The compositions corresponding to the solid solution Sr14-xYxCu24O41 and the compound SrCuO2+δ lie above the plane containing SrO, Y2O3, and CuO, displaced towards the oxygen apex. However, in the system CaO-Y2O3-CuO-O2 at 1173 K, all the condensed phases lie on the plane containing CaO, Y2O3, and CuO, and a new quaternary oxide YCa2Cu3O6.5 is present. The quaternary phase has a composition that lies at the center of the non-stoichiometric field of the analogous phase YBa2Cu3O7-δ in the BaO-Y2O3-CuO-O2 system. The com-pound YCa2Cu3O6.5 has the tetragonal structure and does not become superconducting at low temperature. Surprisingly, phase relations in the three systems CaO-Y2O3-CuO-O2, SrO-Y2O3-CuO-O2, and BaO-Y2O3-CuO-O2 are found to be quite different. |
