The hyperfine interactions of Ru-99(<-- Rh-99) in YBa2Cu3O7-x with x l
ess than or similar 0.2 and x almost-equal-to 1 were studied by means
of TDPAC and emission Mossbauer spectroscopy. The superconductor YBa2C
u3O7-x with x less than or similar 0.2 was prepared by conventional he
at treatment in oxygen, the semiconductor with x almost-equal-to 1 by
heating the superconductor under a reduced pressure. The TDPAC and Mos
sbauer measurements show that Ru ions exclusively occupy the Cu-1 site
, which forms one-dimensional Cu-O chains in the orthorhombic phase.
