Phase diagram in the Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system
Buffer effect of non-superconducting phases on oxygen exchange of the superconducting ones
TG-DTA and X-ray diffraction measurements at different temperatures and under different oxygen partial pressures were carried out on the species Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2CuO6±x, Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2CaCu2O8±y and Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10±z to analyse the influence of the oxygen chemical potential on the phase transformations. A new phase was found at isobaric invariant equilibrium for 0.5≤
/PTot≤1 at 884°C. This new phase presents a buffer effect towards oxygen exchange between superconducting oxides and the gas phase.
Abstract
The oxygen exchange between the condensed phase(s) and the gas phase was studied as a function of temperature for superconducting phases of the system (Bi,Pb)-Sr-Ca-Cu-O. An oxygen probe apparatus allowed confirmation that the variation in oxygen composition in the Pb2212 and Pb2223 superconducting phases is a reversible phenomenon on heating and cooling. It was demonstrated that the mass loss of both phases, for the 905 and 980°C isotherms, was due to the oxygen composition variation and to PbO loss (this latter phenomenon begin irreversible).
