Abstract
A new phase of Ba2(Cu0.7Cd0.3)O3 has been discovered. The composition of the phase was examined by energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. The phase exhibits a tetragonal structure with lattice constants a=4.077 A ̊ and c=7.970 A ̊, and its space group is P4/mmm. We propose a double-center-perovskite structure model, which is similar to that of (Ba, Sr)2CuO2(CO3) [1, 2]. The simulated XRD is close to the observed one. The analysis results of elemental analyzer and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer reveal that the phase does not contain CO 2 3-. The cuprate is an insulator, but its new cell structure and the large size of the CuO2 planes seem to suggest a good reason for researching new superconductors. The roles of CdO in the solid state reaction and the formation of the new phase are discussed.
