✦ Synopsis
We have prepared several samples of Pb2Sr2Yl-xCaxCu308+O with various well defined oxygen contents and studied their oxidation process by TGA and characterized them by X-ray and electron diffraction. For x = 0 the upper limit for ~ is found to be 1.9. We show that the oxidation process is accompanied by a change in the unit cell resulting on one hand from the oxygen vacancies ordering and on the other from the ordering of the Pb2+ and Pb4+ cations.

Structural studies of the oxidation process of YBa2Cu306+x and Pb2Sr2Y 1-xCaxOs+8 reveal that oxygen uptake does not necessarily lead to better superconducting properties. In the former compound oxygen incorporation results in a higher concentration of positive charges (electron holes) which are tra
