Abstract
Structural, magnetic and Raman scattering measurements have been performed on Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+y single crystals. Superconductivity with T-c of 36K, wh ich is the highest T-c in this system, has been discovered in extremely hol e-underdoped samples which normally do not show superconductivity. Structur al measurements and results of annealing effect reveal that this supercondu cting phase is caused by oxygen dopants. In addition, Raman scattering meas urements support the macroscopic phase separation model.
