Abstract: | Several calcium iridium oxides were prepared by solid state reactions and by a hydroxide precipitation technique. These phases were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction data, electrical and magnetic properties. The calcium-rich phase, Ca4IrO6, was an insulator exhibiting Curie-Weiss behavior above 77°K with a Weiss constant of ?47°K and a magnetic moment of 1.76 μB.Ca2IrO4 is a semiconductor and the temperature-dependent susceptibility above 77°K was analyzed in terms of one-dimensional linear chains of octahedrally coordinated Ir4+ ions.Two CaIrO3 phases were isolated, but only the orthorhombic perovskite modification was sufficiently pure for magnetic studies. It was Pauli paramagnetic with metallic conductivity. |
