Ln3Cu4P4O2: a New Lanthanide Transition Metal Pnictide Oxide Structure Type

MRS Online Proceedings Library Aims and scope

Abstract

A new type of lanthanide transition metal pnictide-oxide, Ln3Cu4P4O2 (for Ln = La, Ce, and Nd), is reported. The crystal structure is made from Ln2O2 layers of the Pb2O2 type stacked with layers of Cu2P2 tetrahedra. The existence of a homologous series of compounds with similar chemistry connecting the BiCuOSe and ThCr2Si2 structure types is indicated. The resistivity of La3Cu4P4O2 is metallic, with no superconductivity observed above 2K. The Ce and Nd compounds have magnetic susceptibilities characteristic of the trivalent Lanthanides. The Ce compound orders magnetically at approximately 0.8 K.
