Abstract

Via electrical property measurements (conductivity, thermopower) at 700°C on sinter-forged YBa Cu O, it was YBa2Cu3O7−x, it was determined that conduction occurs via small polaron conduction in the tetragonal phase. From the thermopower and oxygen content the distribution of copper valence states was determined.
