Title: The structure of nano-twinned rhombohedral YCuO_2.66 solved by electron crystallography

Abstract

In the search for frustrated spin interactions, a YCuO_2.66phase has been synthesized by a treatment under oxygen pressure of YCuO_2.5. X-ray powder diffraction and electron diffraction studies have been conducted. Electron diffraction shows that the sample is twinned on a 10 nm scale. Precession electron diffraction data obtained from a twinned crystal was treated in order to obtain intensities corresponding to only one of the orientations of the twins. From this data a structure solution was obtained where, as in YCuO_2.5, the Cu atoms form triangular planes. The Cu atoms are linked in two dimensions by oxygen atoms in the present structure whereas in YCuO_2.5they are only linked in one-dimensional chains.

Metastable YCuO{sub 2.5+x} and LaCuO{sub 2.5+x} delafossites

Conference Cava, R J ; Ramirez, A P ; Krajewski, J J ; ...

The square planar CuO{sub 2} arrays in layered copper oxides hold the as yet not understood key to the occurance of high T{sub c} superconductivity. A triangular spin 1/2 planar Cu-O lattice might also be expected to display exotic physical properties. Here the authors describe the discovery and synthesis of the metastable Delafossites YCuO{sub 2.5+x} and LaCuO{sub 2.5+x} which have such an array. Initially the Cu{sup 1+} phases YCuO{sub 2} and LaCuO{sub 2} are synthesized under a limited set of temperature/PO{sub 2} conditions. These can then be oxidized at low temperatures to formal Cu valences in excess of 2{sup +}more »« less
LaCuO[sub 2. 5+x] and YCuO[sub 2. 5+x] delafossites: Materials with triangular Cu[sup 2+[delta]] planes

Journal Article Cava, R J ; Ramirez, A P ; Takagi, H ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry; (United States)

The YCuO[sub 2] and LaCuO[sub 2] delafossites consist of alternating triangular planes of Ln[sup 3+] octahedra and O-Cu[sup 1+]-O sticks. Here it is shown that under a limited set of conditions they may be oxidized to form new delafossite-derived phases YCuO[sub 2.5+x], 0 [le] x [le] 0.05, and LaCuO[sub 2.5+x], 0.07 [le] x [le] 0.18. Electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction are employed to characterize the resulting structures. Temperature-dependent resistivities and magnetic susceptibilities are reported. Characterization by soft X-ray photoabsorption spectroscopy, which shows them to be electronically unlike cuprates such as La[sub 2[minus]x]Sr[sub x]CuO[sub 4], is also reported. 13 refs.,more » 24 figs., 1 tab.« less

Synthesis and Neutron Powder Diffraction Structural Analysis of Oxidized Delafossite YCuO_2.5

Journal Article Garlea, Vasile O ; Darie, Celine ; Isnard, Olivier ; ... - Solid State Sciences

We report a study of the evolution of the structure of the delafossite-derived compounds YCuO{sub 2+{delta}} as a function of oxygen stoichiometry. The structural details of the oxygenated material YCuO{sub 2.5} were examined by means of high-resolution neutron powder diffraction. We confirmed that YCuO{sub 2.5} adopts an orthorhombic superstructure (a = {radical}3a{sub H}, b=c{sub H}, c=2a{sub H}) in which the anions are located at the center of corner-sharing triangles to form undulating chains of Cu{sup 2+} (s=1/2), running along a-axis direction.

Twin and tweed microstructures in YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] doped by trivalent cations

Journal Article Semenovskaya, S ; Zhu, Y ; Suenaga, M ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter; (United States)

Computer-simulation techniques and TEM analysis were employed to study the dependence of the twin and tweed microstructures in YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3[minus][ital x]]M[sub [ital x]]O[sub 7[minus][delta]] on doping by trivalent atoms (like Fe, Co, or Al). Since the trivalent atoms substituting the bivalent Cu(I) atoms have a greater number of the nearest-neighbor oxygen atoms, it was suggested that doping can be described by the [ital M]-O nearest-neighbor attractive interaction. This interaction generates a local oxygen disorder which plays an important role in the formation of the tweed structure. The [ital M]-O interaction and the long-range O-O interaction (screened Coulomb and strainmore »« less

Single crystal growth and structure of La{sub 4}Cu{sub 3}MoO{sub 12}

Journal Article Enterkin, James A ; Maggard, Paul A ; Ishiwata, Shintaro ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

We report the synthesis and structure determination of single crystals of La{sub 4}Cu{sub 3}MoO{sub 12} grown from a CuO/KCl flux. This material, whose structure had previously been reported based solely on polycrystalline diffraction data, shows frustrated magnetic behavior and an anti-ferromagnetic ordering of spin-1/2 triangles at low temperatures. The structural and atomic parameters determined from the single crystal data are in very good agreement with those reported previously. However, HREM data showed evidence for disorder in the stacking of the Cu{sub 3}MoO{sub 4} planes, and thus a twinned structural refinement in space group P2{sub 1}/m was replaced by an equivalentmore »« less
