Abstract
Samples of Hg-1201 have been synthesized using the sealed-tube precursor-reactant method. The samples are mercury deficient, with the deficiency related to the ratio of precursor to reactant mass in the tube. The Curie constant in the normal state is found to evolve systematically with mercury content in a way that suggests a combination of structural mercury vacancies and phase segregation. Thermopower measurements are presented for samples over a range of doping levels.
