Orthorhombic YBa2Cu3OT\_x was obtained when a synthesized precursor containing Y203, BaCuO2.5 and CuO was heated rapidly to 950-1020°C in air, held for 30 min, and quenched. During DTA at 20°C/min, the BaCuO2.5 in the precursor decomposed at 838°C. The BaCuO2.5 constituent did not completely decompo
