Summary

THE AUTHORS HAVE PERFORMED INVESTIGATIONS ON THIS SYSTEM WITH RESPECT TO HIGH TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AND STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES. IT IS SHOWN THAT THERE ARE 2 HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTING PHASES, IE A 110 K AND AN 85 K PHASE. THE 85 K PHASE HAS A BODY-CENTRED TETRAGONAL STRUCTURE. THE 110 K PHASE IS CLOSELY RELATED TO THE 85 K PHASE. ALTHOUGH SOME SAMPLES SHOW A LARGE DIAMAGNETIC SIGNAL AT 110 K IN ALTERNATING CURRENT-SUSCEPTIBILITY MEASUREMENTS, THERE IS STILL EVIDENCE OF THE PRESENCE OF THE 85 K PHASE. X-RAY DIFFRACTION STUDIES SHOW A STRUCTURAL RELATION BETWEEN THESE 2 SUPERCONDUCTING PHASES. THE PROCEDURES OF THE PREPARATION AND THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE 85 AND 110 K POLYCRYSTALLINE SUPERCONDUCTING PHASES AS WELL AS THE SINGLE CRYSTAL GROWTH OF THE 85 K SUPERCONDUCTING PHASE ARE DESCRIBED.
