Abstract

Synthesis of bulk Y2Ba4Cu7O15−δ and YBa2Cu4O8 high-Tc superconductors at atmospheric pressure, without the addition of alkali rate enhancers, is reported. The superconducting transition temperature for Y2Ba4Cu7O15−δ is shown to depend on oxygen stoichiometry, with the resistive onset observed above 90 K. The YBa2Cu4O8 phase has zero resistance Tc close to 80 K. A modified Y-Ba-Cu-O P-T phase diagram is presented.
