Abstract
The results of analyses of chemistry and microstructure of one of the secondary phases commonly observed in samples of the new high‐temperature superconductors are reported. The crystal structure has been examined by convergent beam electron diffraction and is confirmed to be orthorhombic, with space group Pbnm and lattice parameters a=0.71 nm, b=1.22 nm, and c=0.56 nm. The stoichiometry of the metal components was found by x‐ray energy‐dispersive spectroscopy to be Y1.0Ba0.5Cu0.5, which leads us to postulate that this phase is Y2BaCuO5−x.Keywords
