AbstractThe lattice parameters of single-crystal SrTiO2 were determined by X-ray diffraction as a function of temperature from 4.2 to 300°K. Three significant regions were found: from 65 to 110°K a tetragonal modification, exists (c/a = 1.00056); from 35 to 55°K, line splitting consistent with orthorhornbic symmetry was observed, and at 10°K an anomalous maximum in the lattice parameter vs. temperature curve was found which suggested a third structure transformation. In the tetragonal region (at 78°K) the formation of a domain structure was observed with a polarising microscope. The low-temperature X-ray technique and X-ray cryostat are described.

Low Temperature Phase

The potassium manganese tetrafluoroberyllate langbeinite compound has been studied in the temperature range 100–300 K. Using DSC measurements, a phase transition has been detected at 213 K. The space group of the low-temperature phase was determined to be P1121 using X-ray diffraction experiments and optical observations of the domain structure. The b axis is doubled with respect to the prototypic P213 cubic phase. Lattice parameters were determined by powder diffraction data [a = 10.0690 (8), b = 20.136 (2), c = 10.0329 (4) Å, γ = 90.01 (1)°]. A precise analysis of the BeF4 tetrahedra in the low-temperature phase shows that two independent tetrahedra rotate in opposite directions along the doubled crystallographic axis. A symmetry mode analysis of the monoclinic distortion is also reported. This is the first report of the existence of such a phase transition in K2Mn2(BeF4)3 and also of a new type of low-temperature structure for langbeinite compounds.

Low Temperature Phase

Several substitutions have been attempted in the Hg layer of the Hg 1212 and 1223 cuprate superconductors. A new series of (Hg,Bi)1212 superconducting compounds has been synthesized. The highest Tc of the series (92 K) is found for the composition (Hg0.67Bi0.33)Sr2(Y0.5Ca0.5)Cu2O7−δ, with lattice constants a = 3.811 Å and c = 12.002 Å. X-ray diffraction and SEM with EDX analysis confirm that Hg is indeed incorporated in the structure. High-pressure oxygenation at 250 bar and 400 °C changes the magnetization curve, adding a second transition at ∼42 K; the 92 K transition remains unchanged. High-pressure oxygenation of Pb-substituted composition of the 1223 system, (Hg0.67Pb0.33)Ba2Ca2Cu3O8 also leads to the formation of low temperature phase with Tc = 67 K. The low Tc phase is associated with the incorporation of extra oxygen, possibly in the Hg layer.
