Ym. Yarmoshenko et al., POSSIBILITY OF SULFUR-OXYGEN SUBSTITUTION IN YBA2CU3O6-RAY-EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY(XSY ANALYZED BY MEANS OF X), Journal of physics and chemistry of solids, 54(10), 1993, pp. 1211-1214
The analysis of substitution effects upon doping Of YBa2Cu3O6+xSy by s
ulphur is given on the basis of investigation of SKalpha1,2 and SKbeta
1 x-ray emission spectra. It is found that sulphur can enter the latti
ce of YBa2Cu3O7 and substitute oxygen atoms. With increasing sulphur c
oncentration from y>0.5 to 2.0 S atoms form isolated sulphate groups w
hich do not have a long order but can be detected by x-ray emission sp
ectroscopy.
