R. Sugise et al., SYNTHESIS OF A NEW CUBIC CONDUCTIVE CU6O8-YMX (M = TB, DY, HO, ER, TM, YB, LU, X = NO3, CL) FAMILY, JPN J A P 2, 32(7A), 1993, pp. 940-942
A new cubic Cu6O8-yMX family (M=Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, X=NO3, Cl)
was prepared. These compounds showed metallic resistivity and paramag
netism. The Cu6O8-yMX Compounds could be easily synthesized when a tri
valent metal element (M) whose oxide (M2O3) has a cubic Tl2O3-type str
ucture was used. These compounds were prepared in the thermal decompos
ition process of a mixed copper nitrate, copper chloride and metal ele
ment oxide solution. The lattice constants of the Cu6O8-yMX compounds
were related-to those Of M2O3.
