Description

Systematic studies on the effect of substitutions on the layered manganocuprate Eu3Ba2Mn2Cu2O12 have been conducted. To introduce holes, the authors have made substitutions of Ca for Eu and/or Sc for Mn, (Eu3-xCax)Ba2(Mn2-yScy)Cu2O12. Single-phase compounds are obtained over a fairly wide range of x and y values for x ≤ 0.7 (y = 0), x ≤ 0.5 (y = 0.5), and x ≤ 0.1 (y = 1.0). The doped holes are received predominantly at the Mn-O site and change the charge of Mn from 3+ to 4+, and no superconductivity has been obtained for any sample. The electronic ground state of (Eu3-xCax)Ba2(Mn2-yScy)Cu2O12 is discussed by comparing with that of the three-dimensional perovskite La1-xCaxMnO3 and K2NiF4-type La1-xSr1+xMnO4 compounds. The substitution of Sr for Ba gives rise to a different crystal structure, the Sr3Ti2O7 structure
