Abstract

The magnetic order in the tetragonal M2CuO2Cl2, M=Ca,Sr and in Sr2CuO3+x compounds was studied by using Mossbauer spectroscopy of 0.5% 57Fe-doped samples. These compounds crystallize in a K2NiF4 - type tetragonal structure, isostructural to La2-xSrxCuO4 superconductors. In this structure, one crystallographic site exists for copper atoms, which form CuO2 planes. Sr2CuO3 prepared under ambient pressure has an orthorhombic structure, while the tetragonal Sr2CuO3+x is obtained when prepared under high oxygen pressure. Both copperoxychlorides are antiferromagnetically ordered with TN≈260K, very similar to TN in La2CuO4 or Nd2CuO4. The strontium-cuprates are magnetically ordered at 4.2K with TN below 10K.
