Abstract
Cu-rich Cuy Cr2 Se4-z Brx spinels react with air according to Cuy Cr2 Se4-z Brx + (n/2) O2 →Cuy-n Cr2 Se4-z Brx + n CuO. By this reaction, the lattice constant ao of the spinels decreases and their Curie temperature Tc increases. For example, a Cu1.03 Cr2.00 Se2.96 Br0.96 spinel with ao = 1.0444 nm and Tc = 216 K reacted with air to Cu0.87 Cr2.00 Se2.96 Br0.96 with ao = 1.0416 nm and Tc = 262 K. On the other hand, a Cu-deficient Cu0.78 Cr2.00 Se2.68 Br1.15 spinel with ao = 1.0405 nm and Tc = 212 K did not react with air. By this, contradictions in the literature concerning the stability of Cuy Cr2 Se4-z Brx spinels in air are resolved.
