Abstract

We report the synthesis of Cm2CuO4. The lattice constants of this material, determined by x‐ray diffraction, show it to be a new member of the isostructural series R2CuO4 (R=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, and Gd). Analysis of magnetic measurements is consistent with a free‐ion effective moment for Cm3+, with no contribution to the susceptibility from Cu‐ions.
