Cuprates crystal chemistry

While this chapter has focussed on synthesis of polycrystalline samples, other aspects of the bismuth and thallium cuprate superconductors are discussed elsewhere. An introduction to synthesis and crystal growth is given in Chapter 5, and a review of the crystal chemistry of the two families is presented in Chapter...

Trivalent rare earth cations can also be incorporated into different Bi, Tl, Hg, and Pb layered cuprates, giving rise to various structures that allow the incorporation of more oxygen as consequence of the trivalent oxidation state of these rare earth ions. The influence on the superconducting properties and the crystal chemistry has been reviewed by Raveau et al ...
