We have refined the structures for YBa2Cu2.94Nio.O6Oy (2% Ni) and YBa2Cu2.8ONio.20Oy (6.67% Ni) at y ∼ 6.95 and y ∼ 6.5 contents. Oxygen was reduced by two independent methods: quenching from 690 °C and oxygen gettering at 450 OC, Cu-O bond lengths were calculated based on Rietveld structure refinements for the various samples; they indicate the likely occupancy of Ni in the plane (Cu2) site of the 123 superconductor.
