“…This phenomenon is attributed to the high density of the material which prevents oxygen diffusion.In some recent papers we have shown the possibility of oxidizing dense La,CuO, ceramics for preparing a new superconducting material using an electrochemical process (anodic oxidation in alkaline medium) [7, 81. In a similar way stoichiometric SrFeO, has been obtained starting from SrFeO,,,[9]. Analogous increase of oxygen content could be expected for various other oxides, especially for oxygen deficient YBa,Cu,O,_,.…”
