Ma. Alariofranco et al., THE SUPERCONDUCTING COPPER CARBONATE CUPRATES - AN ELECTRON-MICROSCOPY STUDY/, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 231(1-2), 1994, pp. 103-108
By means of electron microscopy and diffraction together with EDX and
EELS, we have confirmed the main characteristics of the structure of t
he recently discovered HTSC family of ''copper/carbonate cuprates''. T
hese can be obtained at high pressure and have critical temperatures o
f the order of 117 K. It consists of a copper/carbonate ordered varian
t of the tetragonal ''single X-O layered'' cuprate structure. The unit
cell is given by a=2a(t), b=b(t) and c=2c(t), where subindex t corres
ponds to the tetragonal single layer cell.
