Topochemical reduction of the oxygen-deficient Ruddlesden−Popper phase (n = 1) La1.85Ca0.15CuO4−δ and electrical properties of the La1.85Ca0.15CuO3.5

The present paper reports on the synthesis, structure and electrical properties of the La1.85Ca0.15CuO3.5 compound. The topotactic reduction of the tetragonal oxide T-La1.85Ca0.15CuO4−δ with CaH2 results in the formation of La1.85Ca0.15CuO3.5. The powder X-ray diffraction data have shown that La1.85...
