J. Hernandezvelasco et al., CHARACTERIZATION AND MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF THE NEW GREEN-COLORED R2BACOO5 OXIDES (R-EQUIVALENT-TO-DY-LU AND Y), Journal of alloys and compounds, 203(1-2), 1994, pp. 15-22
New R2BaCoO5 compounds with R=Dy, Er, Tm and Lu have been synthesized
and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. All of them are isostru
ctural with the previously reported R2BaCoO5 where R = Ho, Yb and Y. T
hey crystallize in the Sm2BaCuO5 structural type and belong to the Pnm
a space group (Z = 4). The structural differences found between Pnma-R
2BaCoO5 oxides and other related compounds are given. The magnetic pro
perties of the whole family of oxides (R = Dy-Lu and Y) have been stud
ied from magnetic susceptibility measurements, showing the presence of
three-dimensional antiferromagnetic interactions at low temperatures
(T(N) < 5 K) for most of these oxides.
