We report the results of magnetization measurements with the magnetic field applied along the c axis on superconducting La_1.9Ca_1.1Cu₂O_6+δ single crystals processed under ultrahigh oxygen pressure. Strong fluctuation effects were found in both low- and high-field regimes. Scaling analysis of the high-field magnetization data near the critical temperature (T_c = 53.5K) region reveals the characteristics of critical fluctuation behavior of quasi-two-dimensional (2D) superconductivity, described by Ginzburg-Landau theory using the lowest Landau level approximation. Low-field magnetic susceptibility data can be successfully explained by the Lawrence-Doniach model for a quasi-2D superconductor, from which we obtained the a b plane Ginzburg-Landau coherence length of this system, ξ_ab(0) = 11.8 ± 0.9 Å . The coherence length along the c axis, ξ_c(0), is estimated to be about 1.65 Å, which is in between those of 2D cuprate systems, such as Bi₂Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O₁₀ and Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O₈, and quasi-three-dimensional (3D) cuprate systems, such as overdoped La_2-xSr_xCuO₄ and YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ. Our studies suggest a strong interplay among the fluctuation effects, dimensionalities, and the ratios of the interlayer Cu-O plane spacing, s , to the c-axis coherence lengths. A high s/ξ_c(0) was observed in the high-pressure oxygenated La_1.9Ca_1.1Cu₂O_6+δ, and that apparently drives this system to behave more like a quasi-2D superconductor.
