Evidence of antiferromagnetic order in the green phases R sub 2 BaCuO sub 5 (R = Dy, Y, and Yb)

Journal Article · · Journal of Solid State Chemistry; (USA)
Magnetic susceptibility measurements between 4.2 and 300 K for R{sub 2}BaCuO{sub 5} compounds (R = Dy, Y and Yb), also called green phases, reveal the existence of antiferromagnetic ordering in the copper sublattice around 30 K. At lower temperatures {chi} vs. T plots show in all cases the existence of a sharp maximum, which can be attributed to the onset of antiferromagnetic ordering in the rare earth sublattice, probably induced by the polarization of Cu{sup +2} ions. Experimental magnetic moments estimated from the Curie-Weiss region generally agree with the theoretical values expected for thee R{sup +3} ions. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction experiments confirm the earlier proposed structures for the R{sub 2}BaCuO{sub 5}, and show the existence of a well ordered material.
