    We propose a model for charge transfer mechanism in Y0.8(Ca)0.2Ba2Cu3O6+x to count hole doping of CuO2 planes and x dependence of critical transition temperature T_c. It is assumed the total number of doped holes in the planes is sum of holes that are introduced through two separate channels: substitution of Y3+ by Ca2+ and from CuO chains that are longer than a minimal (critical) length l_min needed for charge transfer to take place. The T_c(x) dependence is obtained by combining calculated x dependence of doping, p(x), and universal T_c versus p relation. Although calculated T_c(x) dependences for l_min=3 and l_min=4 both remarkably correlate to the experimental T_c(x), we argue that the value l_min=4 gives a reasonable overall agreement.Comment: Four pages of text, 2 figures, corrected typing error in abstract: Y2+ and Ca3+ replaced by Y3+ and Ca2+.

    Alkyltributylphosphonium chloride ionic liquids: synthesis, physicochemical properties and crystal structure

    Full text link
    [EN] A series of alkyltributylphosphonium chloride ionic liquids, prepared from tributylphosphine and the respective 1-chloroalkane, CnH2n+1Cl (where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 or 14), is reported. This work is a continuation of an extended series of tetraalkylphosphonium ionic liquids, where the focus is on the variability of n and its impact on the physical properties, such as melting points/glass transitions, thermal stability, density and viscosity. Experimental density and viscosity data were interpreted using QPSR and group contribution methods and the crystal structure of propyl(tributyl) phosphonium chloride is detailed.This work was funded by Cytec Canada, Inc.
