Tk. Jondo et al., PHASE-EQUILIBRIA IN THE BINARY TLO1.5-CUO, TLO1.5-BAO AND TERNARY TLO1.5-BAO-CUO SYSTEMS, Journal of alloys and compounds, 195(1-2), 1993, pp. 53-56
We present the phase diagrams of the TlO1.5-CuO, TlO1.5-BaO, and TlO1.
5-BaO-CuO systems under a pressure of 1 atm of oxygen which allowed us
to prepare pure Tl2Ba2CuO6+/-x using Tl2Ba2O5 as precursor and the pr
operties of quasibinary sections. The stoichiometric thallium cuprate
was found to have the orthorhombic-type structure and was not supercon
ducting. Accurate thermogravimetric measurements showed that the tetra
gonal symetry is observed with at least 10% thallium deficiency.
