YBaCuFeO/sub 5+delta/: a novel oxygen-deficient perovskite with a layer structure

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)
A novel ordered oxygen-deficient perovskite with a layer structure, YBaCuFeO/sub 5+delta/, was isolated. It was characterized by chemical analysis, Moessbauer spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements versus temperature. Its structure was determined by powder neutron diffraction. It crystallizes in the tetragonal system with a = 3.867 A approx. a/sub p/ and c = 7.656 A approx. 2a/sub p/. The structure can be described as formed of (CuFeO/sub 5/)infinity double layers of corner-sharing CuO/sub 5/ and FeO/sub 5/ pyramids, perpendicular to c. The cohesion between the layers is ensured by yttrium planes whereas the barium ions are located inside the layers. The relationships of this structure with those of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-delta/ and LaBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-delta/ are discussed.
