Abstract

The phase diagrams of the BaO-Gd2O3-CuOz and BaO-Er2O3-CuOz systems were determined at 0.1% O2 (810 C) using special apparatus and a procedure for preparing carbonate-free precursors based on BaO. The handling of these atmospherically sensitive compositions is described. The diagram of the BaO-Er2O3-CuOz system was confirmed to be similar to that of the Y-analog. The diagram of the BaO-Gd2O3-CuOz system exhibits different features as compared to the Er-analog. For example, in the Gd-system, while similar to the Er-analog in that both Ba4Rcu3Oz (413) and Ba6Rcu3Oz (613) phases exist, the absence of the Ba3R4O9 phase affects the tie-line relations in the region bounded by BaO, BaGd2O4, GaGd2CuO5 and Ba6GdCu3Oz.
