 Yttrium barium copper oxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Superconductivity was first observed in 1911 when Heike Kamerlingh Onnes was investigating the resistance of mercury cooled in liquid helium.
Seventy-five years later, Georg Bednorz and Alex Müller, working at IBM in Zurich Switzerland, discovered that certain semiconducting oxides became superconducting at the then relatively high temperature of 35 K. Bednorz and Müller found a motif for high temperature superconductors in lanthanum barium copper oxide.

 Barium or chromium additives to magnesium oxide coating slurry - Patent 4512823
The instant invention is directed to a slurry for use in coating silicon steel prior to high temperature annealing, comprising magnesium oxide, water and at least one inorganic compound selected from the group consisting of barium oxide, barium nitrate, chromium nitrate, and their hydrates.
The suspension comprises a quantity of magnesium oxide in water and is mixed sufficiently for the desired application; the magnesium oxide may be hydrated to an extent dependent on the character of the oxide used, the duration of mixing and the temperature of the suspension.
During this anneal, a portion of the magnesium oxide coating reacts with the silica on the surface of the silicon steel to form a glass-like coating of magnesium silicate.

A catalyst according to claim 5, wherein said barium titanium oxide and said zeolitic, crystalline aluminosilicate are embedded in 10 to 90 percent by weight of said matrix material.
This compound, however, and many other barium compounds are not quite suitable to be used for composing a metal resistant cracking catalyst, as appears from metal resistance and micro-activity tests (referred to as MR test and MAT test, respectively).
For instance, the barium titanium oxide and the aluminosilicate may be combined with the matrix material when the latter material is already in the gelled state.
