Low-temperature phase equilibria in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system

Ultrasonically prepared freeze-dried nitrate precursors and high-precision solution calorimetry were used to investigate the low-temperature thermodynamic stabilities of compounds in the Y-Cu-O, Ba-Cu-O, Y-Ba-O, and Y-Ba-Cu-O pseudobinary and pseudoternary systems at 1 atm of oxygen. Y2Cu2O5, Y2BaCuOs, and BaCuO2 were found to be metastable below 682°, 728°, and 710°± 5°C, respectively. The only stable phases in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system at 298 K and 1 atm of oxygen are Ba2Cu3O6, CuO, BaO2, and Y2O3. By compiling the calorimetric and phase equilibria data, a series of Y-Ba-Cu-O isothermal phase diagrams were constructed between 25° and 900°C at 1 atm of oxygen.
