Abstract

It has been confirmed that, in oxide superconductors, the superconducting transition temperature Tc depends strongly on the oxygen content and oxygen ordering. The microgravimetric method is very useful in the analysis of oxide superconductors, because it allows investigations in vacuum and controlled environments in classical applications: thermogravimetric analysis, kinetics and thermodynamics of reaction, determination of oxygen contents in redox reactions, investigations of the correlation of the deviation from stoichiometry and carrier concentration and also the combined measurement of mass and additional parameters, e.g. evolved gas analysis, etc. Selected papers are reviewed.
