Abstract

The crystal structure of the high-Tc superconductor Ba2YCu3O7+x has been studied using neutron diffraction. This compound has an orthorhombic structure with space group Pmmm and lattice parameters a=3.8132 Å, b=3.8774 Å, and c=11.653 Å. We found an occupancy of 0.1 for oxygen atoms at the 1b site and a total number of oxygen atom per unit cell of 7.1. The high quality of the sample used may be associated with the partial occupation at the 1b site by oxygen atoms.
