Abstract

The LnBa₂Cu₄O₈ superconductors are similar in crystal structure to LnBa₂Cu₃O₇ but contain double rather than single copper-oxygen chains. They have previously been synthesized in bulk form only at high oxygen pressures, and, recently, through the use of reaction rate enhancers. Here we describe for the first time the direct synthesis of ErBa₂Cu₄O₈ and HoBa₂Cu₄O₈ in bulk form at one atmosphere oxygen pressure from simple starting materials.
