本文采用EXAFS方法研究了GdBa2Cu3O7-x高Tc超导陶瓷在不同温度下淬火后各金属原子周围氧配位数及键长的变化,得出该123相超导体随淬火温度升高失氧的具体位置为O1及O4,Cu-O平面未被破坏.指出Cu-O链及O4在123相超导体中应具有重要作用.     

SmBa2Cu3O7-x超导块材纳米粉合成工艺研究

本文采用不同相成分纳米前驱粉，制备了一系列SmBa2Cu3O7-x块材，并对其制备工艺进行了研究．纳米前驱粉制备采用本中心自行研发的一种简便高效的“凝胶快速分解法”．研究结果表明，采用“凝胶快速分怨法”，经650℃-950℃的适当热处理可以得到不同相成分的纳米前驱粉；在一定的温度和时间范围内，前驱粉的粒度基本不受热处理温度的影响．磁测量的结果表明，化学成分相同时，前驱粉的相组成对最终的SmBa2Cu3O7-x块材的临界超导转变温度（Tc）并无明显影响．

Shear at twin domain boundaries in YBa2Cu3O7-x

The microstructure and strain state of twin domains in YBa2Cu3O7-x are discussed based upon synchrotron white-beam x-ray microdiffraction measurements. Intensity variations of the fourfold twin splitting of Laue diffraction peaks are used to determine the twin domain structure. Strain analysis shows that interfaces between neighboring twin domains are strained in shear, whereas the interior of these domains are regions of low strain. These measurements are consistent with the orientation relationships of twin boundaries within and across domains and show that basal plane shear stresses can exceed 100 MPa where twin domains meet. Our results support stress field pinning of magnetic flux vortices by twin domain boundaries.     

Raman scattering in the high Tc superconductors MBa2Cu3O7-x

We report Raman scattering measurements of MBa₂Cu₃O₇ (M = Y, Sm, Eu) polycrystalline superconductors in the region of Cu-O stretching vibrations. Four peaks are seen. On the basis of the factor group analysis given here they are assigned to two Raman allowed and two ir-allowed LO modes. The latter are probably induced by disorder (e.g. O-vacancies).     

Interface and grain boundary structures in YBa2Cu3O7-x and YBa2Cu4O8 materials

Y₂BaCuO₅YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x (Y211/Y123) interfaces in melt-processed YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x were studied by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Yttrium enrichment and barium depletion were observed locally at the Y211/Y123 interfaces where Y123 (001) facets were present. This effect may be interpreted as the result of lattice substitution of Ba by Y near these interfaces. Cation nonstoichiometry was found near Y211/Y123 interfaces where liquid phases (Cu-Ba-O) were present. This chemical disorder introduces numerous point defects in the Y123, and these defects may act as additional pinning sites alongwith stacking faults. A comparison of grain boundary (GB) chemical composition in polycrystalline YBa₂Cu₃O_7-x and YBa₂Cu₄O₈(Y124), studied using nanoprobe parallel-detection electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS), is presented. The studies of Y124 show that stoichiometric grain boundaries can also form weak links between superconducting grains. It is suggested that weak-link behavior is determined largely by misorientation at grain boundaries.
