Abstract

We have successfully synthesized La 1.8x-Eu 0.2Sr xCuO 4 (x = 0 and 0.05) with the Nd 2CuO 4-type (T0-type) structure by means of the structural transformation at low temperatures from the K 2NiF 4-type (T-type) structure via the Sr 2CuO 3-type (S-type) structure. Superconductivity has appeared by postannealing T'-La 1.8-xEu 0.2Sr xCuO 4 in vacuum at 700 °C for the removal of excess oxygen. The superconducting transition temperatures are 20 and 13 K for x = 0 and 0.05, respectively. T'-La 1.8-xEu 0.2Sr xCuO 4 with x = 0.05 is, at least nominally, the first hole-doped superconducting cuprate with the T0-type structure.
