New Perspectives for Cuprate Research: (CaxLa1−x)(Ba1.75−xLa0.25+x)Cu3Oy Single Crystals

We report the successful growth of a large (Ca x La 1− x )(Ba 1.75− x La 0.25+ x )Cu 3 O y (CLBLCO) single crystal. In this material, x controls the maximum of T c ( ), with minimal structural changes. Therefore, it allows a search for correlations between material properties and . We demonstrate th...

Description
Summary:We report the successful growth of a large (Ca x La 1− x )(Ba 1.75− x La 0.25+ x )Cu 3 O y (CLBLCO) single crystal. In this material, x controls the maximum of T c ( ), with minimal structural changes. Therefore, it allows a search for correlations between material properties and . We demonstrate that the crystals are good enough for neutron scattering and cleave well enough for Raman scattering. These results open new possibilities for cuprate research.
