Description

The three first members of the Cr-12s2 (s = 1, 2, 3) homologous series, i.e. CrSr2YCu2O8 (Cr-1212), CrSr2(Y1.5Ce0.5)Cu2O10 (Cr-1222) and CrSr2(Y1Ce2)Cu2O12(Cr-1232) are synthesized by high pressure high temperature (HPHT) 6 GPa and 1550 deg. C process. Though the Cr-1212 and Cr-1232 could not be formed in single phase with full Cr, the Cr-1222 is achieved in pure phase with space group I4/mmm. These compounds belong to the multi-layered copper oxides series that differ from each other only in terms of the (Ce,Y)-[O2-(Ce,Y)]s-1 layer blocks between two identical CuO2 planes with s = 1, 2 and 3. At 5 K, the magnetization M(H) experiments showed some ferromagnetic like hysteresis loops though the characteristic Mr and Hc were not seen clearly. None of the studied compounds exhibited superconductivity down to 5 K
