Abstract

The lattice constants and the superconducting transition temperatures of the series Y(Ba2−xREx)Cu3O7+δ(RE=Pr, Eu, and Gd; x≦0.4) show that the solubility of RE with Ba is practically absent for Eu and Gd, whereas a small solubility of Pr cannot be ruled out. The degree of RE-Ba solubility limit in the Y-based systems is significantly smaller relative to that in the respective RE based series. This observation could be consistently understood by our earlier proposal on the RE-Ba solubility dependence on the degree of O-O repulsive interaction. Our results also indicate that Pr is trivalent in these oxides, contrary to a previous report.
