Physical properties of new iron arsenide oxide with thick perovskite-type oxide layer

Since the discovery of high-$T_{c}$ superconductivity in LaFeAsO, a large number of layered compounds having anti-fluorite type Fe- or Ni-pnictide layer have been discovered. Among them, a series of pnictide oxides having perovskite-type oxide layers\footnote{H. Ogino \textit{et al}., \textit{Supercond. Sci. Technol.} \textbf{22} (2009) 075008} are attractive because of their chemical flexibility particularly at the perovskite-type oxide layer, which may results in new compounds. In the present study, various physical properties have been investigated for the new iron pnictide oxides with thick perovskite-type blocking layers, i.e., large interlayer distance between Fe-layers more than 1.7 nm. These samples showed metallic and paramagnetic behaviors in resistivity and magnetization measurements, respectively, down to 2 K without any signs of superconductivity and other anomalies. Relationship among crystal structure, constituent elements and physical properties will be discussed for the newly discovered system.
