✦ Synopsis

We have investigated the magnetic properties of a large group of compounds with the general formula R,Cu,O,, where R stands either for SC, In and Lu, or the heavy rare-earth element from Tb to Yb. All compounds investigated are isostructural and crystallize in the orthorhombic Ho,Cu,O, type of crystal structure and show some magnetic transitions at low temperatures. These transitions are mainly associated with the spins on Cu" sites. However, a possible magnetic ordering of the rare-earth moments by these ternary oxides has also been discussed.
