We have refined the crystal structure of the electron-doped infinite-l
ayer superconducting compound Sr0.9La0.1CuO2 (T(c) = 42 K) from neutro
n-powder-diffraction data for an 82-mg sample synthesized at high pres
sure. The metal- and oxygen-atom lattices are perfectly stoichiometric
and there is no excess (interstitial) oxygen in the Sr(La) layer. Thu
s, neither oxygen vacancies nor interstitial oxygen play a role in the
doping of this compound.
