Abstract

We report a study of the evolution of the structure of the delafossite-derived compounds YCuO_2+δ as a function of oxygen stoichiometry. The structural details of the oxygenated material YCuO_2.5 were examined by means of high-resolution neutron powder diffraction. We confirmed that YCuO_2.5 adopts an orthorhombic superstructure ( a = sqrt(3) a_H, b = c_H, c = 2 a_H) in which the anions are located at the center of corner-sharing triangles to form undulating chains of Cu²⁺ ( s = 1 / 2), running along a-axis direction.
