Nonstoichiometric high-pressure phase of TmxCu3V4O12
TmxCu3V4O12, a perovskite-like oxide (space group, Im-3; Z = 2; a = 7.279–7.293 Å) containing vacancies in its cationic sublattice, was obtained barothermally (P = 7.0–9.0 GPa, t = 1000–1100°C) for the first time. The temperature dependences on the electrical resistivity (10–300 K) and the magnetic susceptibility (0–300 K) were investigated. It was shown that the oxide TmxCu3V4O12 is characterized by metal-type conductivity and paramagnetic properties.
