Abstract

We have determined the crystal structure of novel thermoelectric compound [Ca₂(Co_0.65Cu_0.35)₂O ₄]_0.63CoO₂ by a superspace group approach. Structural parameters have been refined with a superspace group of C2/m(1 p 0) s0 using powder neutron diffraction data collected at 293 K. The compound consists of mutually interpenetrating triangular CoO₂ layers and distorted four-layered rock salt-type Ca₂(Co_0.65Cu _0.35)₂O₄ slabs, which are incommensurate parallel to the b-axis. The CoO₂ layer is composed of the CdI ₂-type edge-shared CoO₆ octahedra. Both the subsystems have common a- and c-axes, and β-angle with a = 4.8212(4) Å, c = 12.7671(8) Å and β= 93.93(1)°. The e-axis lengths are b ₁ = 2.8103(3) Å for the [CoO₂] subsystem and b ₂ = 4.4915(3) Å for the [Ca₂(Co _0.65Cu_0.35)₂O₄] subsystem. A marked displacive modulation of the (Co,Cu) and O sites in the [Ca₂(Co _0.65Cu_0.35)₂O₄] subsystem has been observed, yielding a large fluctuation of the (Co,Cu)-O distances in the range from 1.8 Å to 2.7 Å. Cu²⁺ ions appear to play an important role in stabilizing such a four-atom thick subsystem in this compound.
