Open publisher page 9 citations
Abstract
The competition between superconductivity and Cu antiferromagnetism in the high Tc, Cu containing superconductors, ( R 1−x M x)2 CuO 4, RBa 2 Cu 3 O 7, Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8 and YBa 2 Cu 4O8 is reviewed. Partial substitution of some of the ions suppresses superconductivity and leads to the establishment of antiferromagnetic order in the Cu layers.
