E. Moshopoulou et al., EVOLUTION OF STRUCTURE AND SUPERCONDUCTIVITY OF LI-1-XTI2O4 SINGLE-CRYSTALS WITHOUT TI CATION DISORDER, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 747-748
The superconducting and structural properties of Li1-xTi2O4. single cr
ystals are studied at low temperature by x-ray diffraction and SQUID m
agnetometry. We show that Tc is directly related to Li stoichiometry a
nd Ti valence. We show that the structure cannot withstand high Li def
iciencies without Ti network disorder.
