Notes:
Superconducting properties of RBa2Cu3O7−x compounds (R=Y, La, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb) have been studied by dc electrical resistivity and ac magnetic susceptibility techniques. Except for R=La, which is superconducting below 50 K, RBa2Cu3O7−x compounds exhibit sharp resistive and inductive transitions in the 90-K range. The nearly constant value of Tc for magnetic R ions indicates a very weak interaction between R ions, as anticipated from the known crystal structure of these materials. The effects of annealing in oxygen and argon, and air quenching, on the superconducting properties are also discussed.
