Preparation and properties of fluorine-doped Nd₂CuO_4-y superconductors

Details of the synthesis, characterization, and superconductivity of fluorine-doped Nd2CuO4-y are reported. Speculations are made on the likely substitutional site for fluorine and the possibilities of beneficially extending fluorination to other high-TC compounds. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
