ABSTRACTOxygen potentials of PuO2-x were measured at temperatures of 1473 - 1873 K by thermo-gravimetry. The oxygen potentials were determined by in situ analysis as functions of oxygen-to-metal ratio and temperature. The measurement data were analyzed on the basis of defect chemistry and an approximate equation was derived to represent the relationship among temperature, oxygen partial pressure, and deviation x in PuO2-x.

Via in situ electrical property measurements (conductivity, Seebeck coefficient) over the temperature range 500–800 °C and oxygen partial pressure range 10−4-1 atm, the equilibrium transport properties and stability range of YBa2Cu4O8 were determined. YBa2Cu4O8 behaves like the intrinsically mixed-valent compound, magnetite (Fe3O4), with small variations in electrical properties with changes in oxygen partial pressure. The decomposition boundary to YBa2Cu3O6+y (or YBa2Cu3.5O7.5±z) and CuO occurs at log(po2, atm) = −1.24 × 104/T(K) + 11.01(773 ⋚ T(K) ⋚ 1073).

ABSTRACTEpitaxial films of Ba2YCu3O7-δ (BYCO) as thin as 250 å A and with Jc's approaching those of the best in situ grown films can be formed by co-evaporating BaF2, Y, and Cu followed by a two-stage anneal. These results extend the work on films > 2000 Å thick by R. Feenstra et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 69, 6569 (1991)]. High quality films of these thicknesses become possible if low oxygen partial pressure [p(O2) = 4.3 Torr] is used during the high temperature portion cf the anneal (Ta). The BYCO melt line is the upper limit for Ta. The use of low p(O2) shifts the window for stable BYCO film growth to lower temperature, which allows the formation of smooth films with greater microstructural disorder than is found in films grown in p(O2) = 740 Torr at higher Ta. The best films annealed in p(O2)=4.3 Torr have Jc values a factor of four higher than do comparable films annealed in P2=740 Torr. The relationship between the T required to grow films with the strongest pinning force and p(O2) is log independent of growth method (in situ or situ) over a range of five orders of magnitude of P(O2).

In this research, the influences of the oxygen impurity contained in the commercially available nitrogen gas on the reactions of chromium pellets with nitrogen were investigated in the temperature range 600–1350 °C. A small amount of oxygen competed with the majority N2 to react with chromium in the annealing process. Analyzing the in situ oxygen partial pressure changes during annealing proved that the dissolution of oxygen in Cr and/or resultant CrxN (CrN or Cr2N) was exothermic and the solubility decreased with increasing temperature. It was found that the oxygen partial pressure decreased drastically to about 10−22 atm when specimens were annealed at 600 °C compared to a mere 10−5 atm for a blank test, while its value increased with temperature. The oxidation involved simultaneous dissolution of oxygen in specimens and formation of oxide scale. Moreover, comparing the aforementioned results with those obtained from additional annealing experiments preformed in argon gas showed that the formation of Cr2O3 might stem mainly from oxidation of the resultant nitrides instead of the metallic chromium.

The electrical conductivity of donor-doped BaTiO3 thermistor ceramics with excessive BaO revealing a reduction-persistent PTCR effect has been carefully examined depending on materials’ composition and oxygen partial pressure at moderate temperatures between 973 and 1273 K.
