Abstract

Superconducting samples of La2CuO4+δ are shown by neutron powder diffraction to consist of two nearly identical orthorhombic phases. The primary phase has a stoichiometry near La2CuO4. The second phase is an oxygen-rich phase that is superconducting. The abundance of the second phase increases with the oxygen pressure at which the samples are annealed. Neutron-diffraction measurements as a function of temperature show that the phase separation occurs reversibly near 320 K.
