Other compounds with this structure

TlBa$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{6+\delta}$


  • We use the data of (Huang, 1993) taken at 10K.
  • The O-I (1c) site, in the layer with the mercury atoms, is fractionally occupied, with $\delta = 0.219$ for the present sample.
  • (Huang, 1993) refer to the (2i) Wyckoff position for the O-III site, but this should be (4i).
  • (Villars, 2016) give TlBa$_{2}$CaCu$_{2}$O$_{6+\delta}$ as the prototype for this system, but we can find no information for that structure, even in that reference.
