M. Nagoshi et al., CORE-LEVEL BINDING-ENERGY AS A PROBE FOR CHARGE-DISTRIBUTIONS IN HIGH-T-C CUPRATES, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 263(1-4), 1996, pp. 294-297
The binding energies of Sr 3d(5/2), Ba 3d(5/2), Ca 2p(3/2) and Y 3d(5/
2) can be a measure of hole concentration in the Cu-O-2 planes For the
cuprates. We applied this to Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oy by a combination with the
investigation on the Bi 4f(7/2) core level in order to elucidate the c
harge distribution in the crystal structure. Changes of the hole conce
ntration in the Cu-O-2 planes and charge redistribution caused by redu
cing oxygen content and by substituting Y for Ca are compared and disc
ussed.
