Thermal decomposition and chemical stabilization of mercurocuprate high-temperature superconductors
We have investigated the thermal decomposition of the mercurocuprate phases HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ, HgBa2CuO4+δ and (Hg0.8Re0.2)Sr2CuO4+δ. In each compound, decomposition is initiated by the breaking of weak Hg-O bonds, but is driven to completion by the formation of thermodynamically stable barium carbona...
