Popis: In the present study, we investigate the relationship between the aging of a barium coating solution used in the synthesis of the precursors for YBa2Cu3O7−x -coated conductors or any oxide compound containing BaO and the transverse relaxation time measured in a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiment. The barium propionate precursor solution sample was prepared by the stepwise addition of an excess of propionic acid and ammonia to a barium acetate dispersion in methanol. All NMR relaxation experiments were performed at 20°C and a proton resonance frequency of 20 MHz. The experimental results are compared with a proposed model that assumes the reduction of the relaxation centers during the aging process. The model allows us the extraction of a characteristic aging time for the monitored sample.
