Yj. Zhang et al., ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE OF THE T-ASTERISK-TYPE SUPERCONDUCTORS (BI0.5SR1.5)(Y,CE)2CU2OY STUDIED BY PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY, Acta physica Sinica, 4(3), 1995, pp. 225-230
The electronic structure of T-type compounds (Bi0.5Sr1.5)(Y2-xCex)Cu2
Oy has been studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. From analysis
of the results, it was found that cation deficiency in Ce4+ introduce
d holes to conduction planes in the T phase as in the p-type infinite
layer compounds. Some Cu ions in the sample without cation-deficiency
contained two-oxygen coordination, which resulted in the incompletene
ss of the CuO2 sheets. Bi ions in the T phase cuprates take exact val
ence of 3+, Pb ions cannot replace them due to the too large an ionic
radius of Pb2+/Pb4+.
