Crystal Structure of (Cr,Cu)(Sr,La)2(La,A)Cu2O8-δ (1212-type) and (Cr,Cu)Sr2(Y,Ce)2Cu2O10-δ (1222-type) Phases

Conditions of the synthesis, crystal structures, mechanical properties, electrical resistivities and magnetizations of cuprates with the general formula (Cr,Cu)(Sr,La)2(La,A)Cu2O8-δ where A=Ca or Sr of 1212-type and (Cr,Cu)Sr2(Y,Ce)2Cu2O10-δ of 1222-type were investigated. The compositions of the cuprates and an amount of the impurity phases in the samples were determined. Rietveld refinement of the structure was carried out. It was found that the formal charges of Cu (FCCu) calculated from the electroneutrality of refined phase compositions do not achieve value optimal for the appearence of superconducting phases.

Keywords: Cr-1212 and Cr-1222 phases, crystal structures, non-superconducting phases
