Abstract

The effects of milling and Ag addition on the decomposition of single-phase LaBa2Cu3Oy have been evaluated. It was found that the decomposition of milled single-phase LaBa2Cu3Oy powders when sintered in pure N2 is attributed to the introduction of strain in the lattice which causes the instability of the structure. The possible reasons why single-phase LaBa2Cu3Oy could be synthesized by sintering in pure N2 at high temperatures and its transition width is always broadened are proposed. The decomposition of compacts of unmilled powders of single-phase LaBa2Cu3Oy when sintered in pure N2 for a long time is due to the fact that oxygen diffuses along the grain boundaries and evolves through the surface of the specimens. Silver might segregate to the grain boundaries and prevent decomposition. It is suggested that to obtain a high-quality LaBa2Cu3Oy, sintering in the reduced atmosphere to achieve a proper oxygen content is required. Reduced atmosphere and Ag addition could enhance the densification rate. For Ag-doped specimens, Tc is highest for x = 0.0001, but decreases for x > 0.0001.
