摘要
The YBa2Cu3O6.4 superconductor transforms to a normal conductor with a long lattice spacing of about 13 Angstrom by annealing at around 200 degrees C in water vapor. Heating the normal conductor to a higher temperature led to the recovery of its structure and superconductivity. The recovery process was investigated by means of powder X-ray diffraction, ac magnetic susceptibility, thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The heat flow with an endothermic peak at 260 degrees C and the weight loss during heating revealed that the recovery is caused by desorption of water.
