Yttrium-barium cuprates are of a great interest due their possible application in the manufacture of superconductors and devices on their basis. This paper shows the possibility to synthesize ultrafine powder of yttrium-barium cuprates using the system based on a coaxial magnetoplasma accelerator. Several methods, including X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, are used to investigate the synthesized products. It is found that during working cycle with a duration less than 1 ms, all necessary conditions are created to synthesize the powder with the stoichiometries YBa[2]Cu[3]O[696] and YBa[2]Cu[4]O[8]. These materials can be used for sintering the multilayer ceramics using the system of spark plasma sintering.
