Abstract
The ratio of trivalent to divalent copper has been determined by the redox titration for two superconducting phases of YBa2Cu3+2xCu2+3-2xO6.5+x with the onset temp. of 60K (x = 0.23 ± 0.01) and 90K (x = 0.35 ± 0.02), and for the insulating one (x ≒ 0) which was kept in an ambient atmosphere for 72 hrs. It is found that Tc, and the ratio of Cu3+/Cu2+ depend strongly on the annealing temperature and time. A typical orthorhombic phase can easily be obtained by a slow cooling or stepwise cooling at PO2 = 1 atm, and shows a high Tc (ca. 90K) superconductivity.
