Nonstoichiometry of LixCu2O2+delta single crystal and its relation to magnetic ordering
Abstract
We report the first systematic study on the nonstoichiometry of Li/Cu ionic ratios
x and oxygen defect concentrations delta in LixCu2O2+delta solid solution. Nonstoichiometric
crystals with intentional Li-deficient (x=0.97) or Li-excessive (x=1.06) concentrations
were prepared by slow-cooling and floating-zone methods. By applying different oxygen
pressures during growth, different magnitudes of oxygen defects were obtained, revealing
varied magnetic and electrical properties. Our results strongly suggest that Li/Cu
and oxygen nonstoichiometry in these crystals are responsible for the varied temperatures
of helimagnetic ordering. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3483244]
