Abstract
The relation between the superconductivity and the Cu valence of TlSr2 Ca1-xYxCu2Oy is investigated. The facts that the Cu valence of the opt imum-doped specimen, if Tl3+ is assumed, is rather low and that even t he specimen with a Cu valence as low as 2.02 shows superconductivity s uggest a small charge transfer from the TlO-layer to the CuO2-sheets. The binding energy shift of the Tl 4f core level measured by XPS lends support to the slight decrease in Tl valence.
