Long-Range Antiferromagnetic Order in Quasi-One-Dimensional Ca(0.83)CuO(2) and Sr(0.73)CuO(2)

Specific heat, elastic neutron scattering and torque measurements have been performed on the two quasi-one-dimensional cuprates Ca(0.83)CuO(2) and Sr(0.73)CuO(2). These compounds consist of infinite CuO(2) chains, which are highly hole-doped. In both compounds a peak in the specific heat, attributed to a static magnetic transition, has been observed at T~ 10 K. Magnetic Bragg peaks were identified in the neutron diffraction patterns, giving evidence of a three-dimensional long-range ordered ground state.
