Abstract

Phase relations in the 45.0–65.0 mol % CuO region of the BaO-CuOx system at P(O2) = 21 kPa have been studied by visual polythermal analysis (VPA), X-ray phase analysis (XPA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), chemical analysis (CA), X-ray microprobe analysis (XMEA), and electron diffraction (ED) and elemental analysis (EA) in a transmission electron microscope (TEM). It is found that the investigated region of the diagram consists of several crystallization fields related to barium—copper oxides of cationic (Ba: Cu) compositions of 4: 5, 5: 6, 7: 8, 12: 13, and 24: 25 with the cubic structure of BaCuO2 oxide. They can be represented as a BamCum + nOy homologous series, where m = 3, 4, 5, …, n = l, 2. The 24: 25 oxide has the highest melting point in the studied region of the phase diagram. The BaCuO2 oxide does not exist in the subsolidus region under these conditions and does not have its own crystallization field.
