摘要: Abstract We have carried out systematic studies involving synthesis of R1+xSr2−xCu2+xNb1−xO8−y (x = 0.0−0.2), R La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy and Y, investigated their magnetic properties. For the expected RSr2Cu2NbO8−y (RSCNO) phase does not form. Pr only an off-stoichiometric composition yields RSCNO single phase, Pr1.2Sr1.8Cu2.2Nb0.8O8−y (Pr1.2SCNO) Nd1.1Sr1.9Cu2.1Nb0.9O8−y (Nd1.1SCNO), respectively. In contrast, for Eu stoichiometric ratio results in monophasic material. Lattice parameters Pr1.2SCNO, Nd1.1SCNO, SmSCNO, EuSCNO, GdSCNO are found to vary linearly with rare earth ionic size. Magnetic susceptibility, χ, Pr1.2SCNO GdSCNO, exhibits a ordering sublattice. This occurs at about 6 K former 2.15 latter. The peak χ−T curve agrees well cusp (2.17 K) reported heat capacity vs. temperature data. effective paramagnetic moment, μeff, ion is deduced be 2.95μB 7.97 μB GDSCNO. result consistent that measurements which indicate entropy value corresponding Gd spin 3.3. susceptibility do transition down 1.8 Nd1.1SCNO SmSCNO compounds. μeff determined 3.42μB former. Results on abovementioned compounds discussed context related RBa2Cu2NbO8−y RBa2Cu3O7−y systems.
