The effect of oxygen activity on the formation of (La,RE){sub 2}CuO{sub 4} (RE = rare earth) solid-solutions has been investigated. Compositions from the (La,Nd){sub 2}CuO{sub 4} and (La,Dy,M){sub 2}CuO{sub 4} (M = Ce, Th) systems, for example, can be prepared in either the T and T{prime} or T* and T{prime} structure types, respectively, at different oxygen contents but identical cation stoichiometries, thereby considerably extending the stability field of each structure. These results in part explain some of the differences in several published equilibrium phase diagrams for the (La,Nd){sub 2}CuO{sub 4} system.
