Expansion of Pb2Sr2Y1-xCaxCu3O8+δ and Ba2YCu3O6+δ
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
The expansions of Pb2Sr2Y1-xCaxO8+δ for x=0, 0.2 and 0.4 and Ba2YCu3O6+δ have been determined during heating to 700°C. Thermal and compositional components of the expansion have been identified by using different atmospheres. In N2 only thermal expansion with a CTE~13 ppm/*C is noted, while in O2 compositional effects are domina nt. At 550* the incorporation of 1.2 atoms of oxygen by Pb2Sr2YCu3O8 produces an expansion -0.4%. This behavior contrasts to the -0.2% shrinkage which occurs for Ba2YCu3O6.2 when -0.6 atom of oxygen is added. The different expansion behaviors of the two compounds are explained in terms of their structures and the position of the removable oxygen.
