Popis: New observations related to hydrogenation of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ (YBCO) are reported: (a) The effects of sample preparation on the H concentration in “uncharged” YBCO samples is investigated, and it is shown through nuclear magnetic resonance measurements that samples of YBCO prepared by “standard” solid-state reaction procedures may contain ab initio up to 0.2 atoms formula −1 of hydrogen. (b) It is demonstrated that one may introduce up to 0.3 atoms formula −1 into single crystal samples of YBCO without destroying the macroscopic crystal. The significance of the above observations is discussed briefly.
