Abstract

Series of Y-Ba-Cu-O compositions were prepared from barium cuprates and Y2O3, using a two-step synthesis route. It has been shown that Ba2Cu3O5+δ is essential in formation of the YBa2Cu3O7−δ superconducting phase while BaCuO2 is not an appropriate starting material. A wide composition range fromx=2 to 17 was prepared from Ba2Cu3O5+δ in the YBa x Cu1.5x O z series without disappearance of macroscopic superconductivity atT c>77 K. Resistivity measurements hint at the existence of two superconducting phases. ESR investigations revealed a baseline hysteresis, depending on the actual value ofx.
