Anomalous Change of y\u27 and z in Na_x(H?O)_zCoO?・y\u27H?O at x ? 0.33
Abstract: We prepared some Nax(H?O)zC0O?・yH?O with BLH single phase and examined the Na content (x), H?O content (z)and H?O content (y). Nax(H?O)zC0O?・yH?O with BLH single phase and 0.28≦x≦0.36 were prepared by changing the amount of Br? used. The drastical changes in the c-axis length and z, Co valence, y around x=0.33 were observed, strongly suggesting that there exists a phase transition here

Oxygen Measurement in Cuprate Superconductors Using the Dissolved Oxygen/Chlorine Method
We have developed a dissolved oxygen (DO) method with differential equation (DE) correction. We measured the oxygen content in La-based and Y-based superconductors, and succeeded in measuring the oxygen content simply in one-third of the time required by the iodometric titration method. However, there was a problem with Bi-based superconductors where the measured oxygen content was smaller compared to the iodometric titration method. We hypothesized that not only O2 but also Cl2 gas is generated when dissolving Bi-based superconductors and developed a dissolved oxygen/chlorine (DO/Cl) method with DE correction. This method uses only a dissolved oxygen sensor and a dissolved chlorine sensor to measure the dissolved oxygen and dissolved chlorine content in Bi2Sr2−xLaxCuOy, allowing for the calculation of copper valence and oxygen content. The results from the DO/Cl method with DE correction show that the measured copper valence and oxygen content differ very little from those obtained using the iodometric titration method, with discrepancies within 0.016 and 0.008, respectively. Additionally, this method reduces the measurement time by one-third compared to the iodometric titration method. The results demonstrate that the DO/Cl method with DE correction can effectively measure the copper valence and oxygen content in cuprate superconductors, and using hydrochloric acid as the experimental solution is superior to sulfuric acid and nitric acid
