T. Ida et al., COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF INTERATOMIC CHARGE-DISTRIBUTION IN COPPER-OXYGENLINKAGE IN YBA2CU3O6.9 AND CUGEO3, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 977-978
We report the interatomic charge distribution (ICD) studied by laborat
ory powder x-ray diffraction in YBa2Cu3O6.9 (BYCO) and CuGeO3. In cont
rast with the existence of two dimensional network of ICD from the Cu
3d and O 2p sigma orbitals in BYCO, rather ionic feature of copper and
oxygen atoms was found in CuGeO3 together with the charge localizatio
n in the planar lattice of one-dimensional -Cu-O-2-linkage.
