| 摘 要： | Mg1−x CuxO solid solutions having an NaCl structure with 0⩽x⩽0.20 are synthesized and Cu-Mg1−x CuxO structures are prepared for superconductivity studies. The magnetic susceptibility χ, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and electrical conductivity of the solid solutions are studied at temperatures of 5–550 K. It is shown that χ −1(T) obeys the Curie-Weiss law with a paramagnetic Curie temperature Θ close to zero and an effective magnetic moment μ eff=1.9 μ B, close to the 1.73 μ B of a Cu2+ ion with spin S=1/2. The width ΔH of the EPR line depends weakly on temperature and increases as x is raised. The volume narrowing of the EPR linewidth ΔH is used to estimate the exchange interaction parameter, 3×10−4 eV. The g-factor is close to 2 and is temperature independent. The electrical conductivity of Mg1−x CuxO at T=300 K is ≈10−11–10−12 Ω−1 cm−1 for x=0 and increases to 10−5–10−6 Ω−1 cm−1 for x=0.15–0.20. The conductivity is p-type. Magnetic shielding is observed in Cu-Mg1−x CuxO structures with x=0.15 and 0.20. The possible connection of this phenomenon with interference superconductivity in the contact layer of the structure is discussed. Fiz. Tverd. Tela (St. Petersburg) 41, 293–296 (February 1999)
