✦ Synopsis
A variety of analytical tools have been combined to show that bulk superconducting La2CuO4+~ has a La to Cu ratio of 2.00 ( + 0.02 ) and an oxgen stoichiometry of 4.13 ( + 0.1 ). The combination of these analytical results and magnetization data with a model leads us to suggest that the excess charged oxygen is introduced as O~-.

Single crystals of antiferromagnetic La2CuO4+ b (TN=250K) which show superconductivity ( Tc=32K ) with the Mcissner fraction of 9.1% were grown from a melt with excess of CuO. The electrical resistivity and the Hall effect have been measured on the as-grown and heat-treated samples under high magnet
