Y. Fukuda et al., ANNEALING EFFECTS ON SUPERCONDUCTIVITY AND ELECTRONIC STATES OF BI2SR2CA(CU(1-X)GO(X))(2)O-Y, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 935-936
We find that although T-c of Bi2Sr2Ca(Cu1-xCox)(2)O-y (0 less than or
equal to x less than or equal to 0.1) samples decreases monotonously w
ith increase of x, it increases by 10-30 K upon annealing in vacuum. I
nverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES) result indicates that the int
ensity of unoccupied 0 2p states at Fermi level for the samples is dec
reased upon annealing. Roles of annealing and CO substitution in the s
amples are discussed.
