X-Ray Diffraction Study of ErBa?Cu?O??? High-Temperature Oxide Superconductor
Abstract
Pure ErBa₂Cu₃O₇₋δ (Er-123) high-temperature superconductor was synthesized via the conventional solidstate reaction method and structurally characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD).The analysis confirmed the formation of a single-phase orthorhombic structure (space group Pmmm) with lattice parameters (a = 3.83 Å, b = 3.89 Å and c = 11.67 Å).The observed orthorhombicity indicates proper oxygen ordering within the Cu-O chains.Crystallite size, estimated using the Scherrer equation, was approximately 48 nm, reflecting good crystallinity.The absence of impurity phases demonstrates successful synthesis of phase-pure Er-123.
