Abstract

The concentration dependence of the room-temperature lattice constants and the concentration and temperature dependence of the specific heat C(T) and the magnetic susceptibility have been measured on the tetragonal, nonsuperconducting phase of Y1-xPrxBa2Cu3O 6. The effective paramagnetic moment μeff is independent of x and has an average value of 2.7±0.2 μB. For PrBa2Cu3O6, the Néel temperature TN for Pr moment ordering is 10.5 K as compared to TN=17 K for the orthorhombic PrBa2Cu3O7 phase. The TN is depressed rapidly with Y doping in the oxygen-depleted compound and goes to zero at x≊0.4-0.5. At low temperatures and x≤0.5, C(T)/T vs T2 is nonlinear and shows a rapid decrease of C(T)/T indicative of strong magnetic correlations.
