Abstract
Superconducting properties of the cuprate superconductors depend on th e oxygen content of the material; the diffusion of oxygen is thus an i mportant process in the fabrication and application of these materials . In the present article, we review studies of the diffusion of oxygen in La2-xSrxCuO4, YBa(2)Cu3O(7-delta), YBa2Cu4O8, and the Bi2Sr2Can-1C unO2n+4 (n=1 or 2) superconductors, and attempt to elucidate the atomi c mechanisms responsible.
