N. Guskos et al., MAGNETIC AND EPR STUDIES OF OXYGENATED AND NONOXYGENATED LABASRCU3O6+X COMPOUNDS IN THE TETRAGONAL PHASE, Physica status solidi. b, Basic research, 180(2), 1993, pp. 491-501
Oxygenated and non-oxygenated LaBaSrCU3O6+x ceramics in the tetragonal
phase are studied using X-ray, EPR, and magnetic measurements. A Meis
sner signal for the oxygenated sample corresponding to almost perfect
diamagnetism is measured below 35 K. However, EPR data indicate that a
t least some parts of the sample become superconducting already below
62 K. Magnetic susceptibility of the non-oxygenated sample exhibit a s
ignificant paramagnetic contribution attributed to Cu(1) ions ferromag
netically coupled to the Cu(2) planes.
