Popis: In the light of recent electron diffraction evidence a reappraisal is made of the problem of non-stoichiometry by oxygen deficiency in high-temperature superconducting Ba 2 YCu 3 O 7−δ . On the basis of the ordered states of the oxygen vacancies detected by that technique, a family of phases is proposed as a better description of oxygen stoichiometry and compositional variations in that material. Five phases appear to exist within the usually considered range 0≤δ≤1. All of these phases, which can be considered as consecutive members of a homologous series differing in oxygen content along the CuO rows running along the b axis, are themselves non-stoichiometric and appear to correspond to well differentiated regions in the characteristic T c versus composition phase diagram found by several authors.
