Synthesis structure and superconductivity in all-perovskite-layered titanium cuprates

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry
A study on the reaction pathways, the synthesis, and the range of stability of complex perovskites in the system Ln-(Sr/Ba)-Cu-Ti is reported. Several possibilities for the Cu: Ti stoichiometry were explored with the aim of isolating potentially superconducting layered phases. A bulk superconducting phase of the formula YSr{sub 2}Cu{sub 2.7}Ti{sub 0.3}O{sub 8-{delta}} with a T{sub c} of 26 K was isolated and a whole family of layered oxides of the formula Ln{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 2}Ti{sub 2}O{sub 11-{delta}} with a T{sub c} of 26 K was isolated and a whole family of layered oxides of the formula Ln{sub 2}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 2}Ti{sub 2}O{sub 11-{delta}} was characterized. The authors have determined the limits of this family which extends form Ln = La to Tb. The studies reported include X-ray and electron diffraction, and TGA and magnetic susceptibility measurements. Structural and magnetic correlations for these oxides are analyzed.
