Abstract

Since the discovery of the superconductivity in Ba2YCu3 O7-x, the system Ba-Y-Cu-O has generated vast interest. The presence and the properties of the intermediate phases were examined, and the existence of the BaY2O4 phase was confirmed.

We have determined the crystal structure of this material from powder data; it is orthorhombic, Pnma (no 62) with a = 10.394(3) Å, b = 3.450(1) Å, c = 12.113(4) Å, isotypic with SrY2O4 (CaFe2O4-type). The observed and calculated intensity values are reported together with the powder diffraction data, obtained both by Guinier and diffractometer methods.
