Abstract

X-ray diffraction patterns of superconducting LnBa2Cu3O7-δ (Ln = Nd, Gd, Dy or Er) compositions (0.3 ≤ d ≤ 0.4; Tc 45-60K) show a significant change on annealing bulk samples at 473K for 48-60 hrs. The diffraction patterns of the annealed samples are very simple, with a low angle reflection corresponding to a c parameter of ~ 27Å, similar to that of 124 cuprates. The annealed product has a highly disordered structure, but contains lamellae of the 124 structure, as confirmed by electron microscopy.
