摘要
The interplay between structure and magnetic properties of Sr14Cu24O41+delta with CuO2 chain and Cu2O3 ladder building blocks is studied as a function of oxygen nonstoichiometry. The characteristic decrease in the magnetic susceptibility below 80 K for delta approximate to 0 disappears both with increasing and decreasing delta, and, correspondingly, the periodicity of the superstructure, which arises from the lattice mismatch along the chain direction between the two structure blocks, shows a significant change. The microscopic origin of the singlet ground state is suggested to be the localization of electrons at low temperature in dimers on structurally modulated CuO2 chains.
