Abstract
The pressure-composition isotherms for oxygen in PrBa2Cu3O6+x were mea sured by means of coulometric titration in the temperature range 550-8 25 degrees C and at oxygen pressures between 10(-3) and 1 atm. The com position dependences of thermodynamic potentials reveal substantially non-ideal behavior of the ensemble of the oxygen ions in the basal pla ne. The oxygen ion conductivity of the PrBa2Cu3O6+x compound was measu red by a permeation technique in the temperature range 600-850 degrees C and at oxygen pressures between 0.08 and 1.00 atm. The data were em ployed for calculation of the oxygen chemical diffusion coefficient. T he activation energy of the oxygen conductivity and oxygen diffusivity was found to depend linearly on the oxygen content, U = 2.46-1.57x (e V), in the integral 0.35 < x < 0.60 which was explained by interaction of movable oxygen ions.
