Аннотация:The P(Hg)–P(O2)–T phase diagram of the Hg–Ba–Cu–O system for the Ba:Cu ¼ 2:1 ratio was experimentally
studied and followed by means of the thermodynamic modeling. It was shown that the Hg1xBa2CuO4þd (Hg-1201)
superconductor possesses a significant range of Hg-nonstoichiometry and exists in a certain P(Hg), P(O2) and T range.
Mercury nonstoichiometry of Hg-1201 was investigated in the 9236T 61095 K; 2:06PðHgÞ68:4 atm; 0:096
PðO2Þ60:86 atm ranges. It was found that the mercury content varies in the range of 0.80–0.94 under these conditions.
The Gibbs energy of the Hg-1201 phase was estimated as a function of temperature and mercury concentration. The
obtained results allow optimizing the synthesis conditions of Hg-1201 with a given Hg-content including preparation of
the Hg-stoichiometric phase.
