Popis: We have measured x-ray diffraction patterns and Meissner flux exclusion of YBa2Cu3Oσ containing indium. All samples were synthesized at temperatures near 940 °C, and the data indicate the indium atomic solubility to be approximately 3% per formula unit. At the solubility limit Tc is reduced from 92.7 K to 91.3 K relative to undoped samples, and the total magnetic flux excluded is reduced from approximately 40% to about 10%. For samples of formula InxY1−xBa2Cu3Oσ concentrations of other Y–Ba–Cu oxide phases are low and do not depend systematically on x. These results indicate that indium substitutes predominantly for yttrium when x is small.
