β¦ Synopsis
The crystallization region of La 8 Cu 7 O 19 exists in a narrow temperature (1045+10503C) and composition range (1:4.5+ 1:5.0; La 2 O 3 :CuO molar ratio) in the La 2 O 3 +CuO system in an air ambient. In this narrow range, we have succeeded in growing large La 8 Cu 7 O 19 single crystals, for the 5rst time, by a modi5ed slow cooling method. Single-crystal X-ray di4raction analysis reveals that La 8 Cu 7 O 19 crystallizes in a monoclinic structure with space group C2/c and has the lattice parameters a β«Ψβ¬ 13.82(7) A > , b β«Ψβ¬ 3.734(8) A > , c β«Ψβ¬ 34.77(10) A > , and β«Ψβ¬ 99.3(4)3. The electrical transport behavior of the as-grown and hole-doped La 8 Cu 7 O 19 single crystals are semiconducting. A lowest resistivity of 11.0 m -cm is measured at 293 K along the ladder direction (# #b-axis) for the hole-doped samples.
