Abstract:

The single crystals with two-leg spin-ladder-type structure were investigated. According to the structural, magnetic, optical and resistivity data obtained, the studied crystals $\rm [A{}_2Cu_3]{}_5[CuO_7$were shown, for the first time, to be high-$T_{\rm c}$ superconductors ($T_{\rm c}$=80 K) which belong to the class of cuprates with incommensurate-type structure.
