Pw. Klamut et al., ON THE PROPERTIES OF PR2CUO4+ -DELTA AND RE2-XPRXCUO(4+/-DELTA) SYNTHESIZED UNDER ELEVATED OXYGEN-PRESSURE CONDITIONS/, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 541-542
We report on the investigation of the high pressure synthesis induced
changes in the properties of T'-phase Pr2CuO4+/-delta and RE2-xPrxCuO4
+/-delta (RE=Gd, Eu, Sm, Nd) compounds. The results suggest the effect
ive Pr valence state can become more than 3+ when prepared under stron
gly oxidizing conditions.
