Abstract

Single crystals of Y2Cu2O5 were grown from a Cu2O flux by a slow cooling method. One of the advantages of the present method is the use of a nonpoisonous flux instead of the conventionally used, relatively toxic, potassium flouride. The satisfactory quality of the single crystal form was confirmed by comparison of the lattice parameters and the Y/Cu ratio between the single crystal and the powdered sample.

    Y2Cu2O5 is one of the members of R2Cu2O5 family with (R: rare-earth) which are antiferromagnetically ordered at low temperatures. Magnetic properties of Y2Cu2O5 have been discovered through the neutron diffraction studies [1,2]. Ramakrishna et al. [3] had predicted that the magnetic properties of low dimensional Y2Cu2O5 could be extremely interesting because they are among the oxo-cuprates which exhibits ferromagnetic interactions.

    As a result, spin-allowed d–d transitions of Cu2+ are available, and a part of the visible light was absorbed by these transitions to give green color. In fact, an Y2Cu2O5 single crystal has bright green as reported by our laboratory [5] and bluish-green color was also observed for a powder sample [6]. Generally, the d–d transitions in transition metal ions are strongly affected by the steric structure of the component unit.
