Phase Equilibria of the SrO-Yb2O3-CuOx System in Air

Abstract

The phase diagram of the SrO-Yb2O3-CuOx system was investigated in air. The solid solution (Sr14-xYbx)Cu24Oz (O13Yb)Cu24Oz indicated that this phase is incommensurate, with the modulation wave vector q=(1/2-z)c*, znearly equal to}0.066. The Sr-analogs of the Ba2YbCu3O6+x high Tc superconductor and the associated BaYb2CuO5 'green phase' were not observed in this system. The ionic size of lanthanides 'R' in the SrO-R2O3-CuOx systems affects the number of compounds formed and their crystal chemistry. The phase diagrams exhibit a smaller number of solid solution phases with decreasing size of R-cations, reflecting the lanthanide contraction.
