Description

Copper oxy-chloride superconductors La2-xSrxCaCu2O4Cl2 and La1.8-xSr0.2Ca1+xCu2O4Cl2 have been prepared at ambient pressure using the traditional solid state reaction method. The structure of these superconductors belongs to that of 212 cuprate superconductors, with lattice parameters a∼3.83 A and c∼19 A, and the space group I4/mmm. The highest Tc obtained was 45 K when x=0.35-0.40 in the La2-xSrxCaCu2O4Cl2 system. The carrier concentration in these materials is controlled not only by cation substitution but also by anion substitution. (author)
