Abstract:

A cuprate superconductor containing double mercury layers was synthesized with a high-pressure, high-temperature technique. The compound, with chemical formula Hg(2)Ba(2)-Y1-xCaxCu(2)O(8-delta), contains a double HgO layer with structure similar to that of rock salt. The prototype compound Hg(2)Ba(2)YCu(2)O(8-delta) is an insulator. Superconductivity is induced in the system by partially replacing yttrium with calcium.

Abstract:

63Cu(1) NQR signals and their relaxation have been measured in YBa2Cu3O6.1 and ErBa2Cu3O6+x at temperatures between 10 K and 300 K. In YBa2Cu3O6.1 a peak is observed in the spin-lattice relaxation, T1-1, around 140 K. An explanation in terms of doped-hole motion is presented and alternative O(4)-O(5) diffusion mechanisms are critically discussed. In ErBa2Cu3O6+x the low-temparature T1-1 is dominated by magnetic fluctuations of Er; quantitative agreement is found when the correct ground state and magnetic dynamic properties of the rare earth are taken into account. © 1994.
