HgSm:1212; [Hg-Ba-Sm(Ca)-Cu-O]
Material Specification for HgSm:1212; [Hg-Ba-Sm-Cu-O] Process: Solid State Reaction
Notes: "The encapsulating method was used for the sample preparation... Starting materials for the synthesis were the pure metal oxides: HgO (yellow), BaO (prepared by heating BaO2 in vacuum at 1000 °C for more than 12 h), Sm2O3 (preheated in an open furnace at 900 °C), CaO (obtained from CaCO3 which was decomposed at 950 °C) and CuO (dried at 100 °C). Stoichiometric amounts of the oxides were carefully ground in a glove box filled with argon. The powder mixtures were placed in silica tubes which were then evacuated (P ≤ 10-1 Pa) and sealed. Approximately one quarter of the tube volume was filled with powder. The samples were heated (about 4 h) up to 720 °C, held at this temperature for 40 h, and cooled to room temperature."

Measurement Method: X-ray diffraction
"X-ray powder diffraction data for structure refinement were collected with a STADI-P powder diffractometer in the transmission mode, using a scintillation detector. The measurements were carried out over the 2θ range 6°-100° with a step interval of 0.02° in 2θ and a counting time of 40 s per step. ... The Rietveld refinement was made with the program RIETAN."
