Subjecting the ceramic Y-Ba-Cu-O of the 1-2-3 composition to shock compression (p — 270 kbar) produces a ceramic of the same composition which under normal conditions (ρ = 0, Τ = 300 К) has a tetragonal structure with a о lattice constant с = 11.710 A and which undergoes a transition to the superconducting state at a temperature 93 K.
