Abstract

X-ray powder diffraction together with several other analytical techniques have been used to characterize the phase formation and the melt compositions associated with the invariant reactions in the system BaO-½Y2O3-CuOx. In this report, the characterization results of the ternary eutectic reaction of the system, the melting of the high Tc compound Ba2YCU3O6+x, and the melting of the 'green phase' BaY2CuO5 are described. The minimum malting eutectic temperature of the system has been determined to be ≈ 925°C, which corresponds to the reaction of Ba2YCu3O6+x + CuO + BaCuO2 → Liquid. The melting of Ba2YCu3O6+x takes place at around 1015°C to yield BaY2CuO5 + Liquid. The green phase melts around 1270°C to yield BaY2O4, Y2O3 and liquid. All these melts were found to contain only a small amount of Y. Reduction of the copper was found to accompany melting.
