Abstract

Single phase iron-substituted 124, (YBa2Cu4-xFexOy) has been obtained in the range of 0≤ x≤ 0.05 at oxygen pressure of 200 bar and 100 bar. Greater Fe substitution at elevated P(O2) destabilised the 124 and 247 phases in favor of a tetragonal 123 phase (FeT-123). The solubility of Fe in FeT-123 phase increases with oxygen pressure. The lattice parameters do not change significantly with Fe content and P(O2). The formal average cooper valency (FACV) of single phase FeT-123 samples is high (e.g. FACV=2.58 for x=0.65). The reduction of Tc caused by Fe substitution in YBa2Cu3-xFexOy is about 6 K/%x over the range (0≤ x≤ 0.2) for samples prepared at P(O2)=200 bar and cooled slowly under pressure.
