Description

This paper reports on the average structure of superconducting La2CuO4.032 determined by single crystal neutron diffraction data. The excess oxygen is located between two adjacent LaO layers. Its presence distorts the apical-oxygen sublattice in such a way that a short O-O bond is formed (1.64 angstrom). By scanning several hkl reflexions; we have confirmed that a phase separation occurs below room temperature. The peaks of the phases are in agreement with the unit cells proposed by Jorgensen et al. and Zolliker et al. However, Cmca seems to be the correct space group for both phases. La2CuO4+δ and the Ni counterpart, thus, not isostructural
