20. Note that this equation was originally derived for pure Y-123. Due to the negligible influence of R-Pr replacement on the lattice parameters this approach appears justifiable for a GdPr-123 crystal. See for example: M. Nevriva, E. Pollert, J. Hejtmanek, S. Durcok, M. Simeckova and P. Kiko, Physica C 179 (1991) 253 and references therein; see also G.P. Mazzara, S. Skirius, G. Gao, G. Chern, R.J. Clark, J.E. Crow, H. Mathias, J.W. O'Reilly and L.R.
