Chemical interaction of BaO-CuO-rich melts with Y2O3

Extract
Chemical interaction between ceramic Y2O3 and Y - Ba-Cu-O liquid with composition close to that of the ternary eutectic is discussed. Intense interaction is observed in the range 930–960 °C that results in the formation of Y2BaCuO5 above 940 °C and YBa2Cu3O6+x plus CuO below 940 °C. At the interface with Y2O3 there is an additional portion containing Y2Cu2O5 or YCuO2. This temperature threshold is exactly that of the peritectic reaction Y2BaCuO5 + L(pl) → YBa2Cu3O6+x + CuO which then appears to control this chemical interaction. The microstructure of the transformed area is oriented in a way that may be used for texturing or crystal growing.
