Abstract

Solution chemistry routes have been used to prepare single-phased superconducting ceramics of YBaSrCu3O6.9 (1113). Resistivity measurements on air annealed samples showed a superconducting onset temperature of 85 K with zero resistance at 78 K which improves to 81 K upon oxygen annealing. Magnetization data show ca. 78% flux exclusion at 5 K for 1113. X-ray diffraction experiments revealed that an orthorhombic to tetragonal transition occurs near 590°C when 1113 was heated in air. This work has demonstrated that such techniques can be utilized to prepare solid solution material with properties similar to those observed in YBa2Cu3Ox (123).
