Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate the coexistence of ferromagnetism and superco nductivity in a new cuprate superconductor (Fe0.5Cu0.5)SrBaYCu2O7+delta syn thesized under high pressure. This compound has a 1212-type structure, with tetragonal symmetry, lattice parameters a = 3.844(3), c = 11.53(2) Angstro m and S.G. = P4/mmm. This ferromagnetic superconductor displays a magnetic transition temperature T-M = 150 K and a superconducting transition tempera ture T-C = 77 K. The occurrence of ferromagnetism in this superconductor ca n be explained by Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (D-M)-type superexchange interaction . (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
