Description

Measurements of the spin rotation and depolarization of implanted positive muons have revealed that La2SrCu2O6+δ, La2CaCu2O6+δ, and La1.9Y0.1CaCu2O6+δ, members of the double-layer perovskite family La2MCu2O6+δ (M=Ca,Sr), display magnetic ordering similar to that of La2-xSrxCuO4-y and YBa2Cu3Ox Their magnetic order parameters are remarkably close to those of the other layered cuprates. A superconducting minority phase has been detected in La2CaCu2O6+δ (δ≥0.02), with onset at ∼45 K and accompanied by a change in the muon-spin-precession signals from the majority antiferromagnetic phase, phenomena absent in La2SrCu2O6+δ. This behavior was attributed to mobility and local clustering of intercalated oxygen excess in the layer between the CuO2 planes
