Abstract The high-temperature superconducting Cu oxides — which are intrinsically Mott insulators — are strongly correlated metals because of valence fluctuations involving Cud 9−d 10 configurations. Temperature-dependent X-ray photoemission spectroscopy of theO 1s and Cu 2p levels in the range 10–300 K provides evidence for O-dimerization, with corresponding increase of the Cud 10O 2p 5 “well-screened” XPS-final state belowT c . This supports the suggestion of dynamical mixed-valence and double-exchange antiferromagnetic interaction as an important mechanism for the origin of highT c superconductivity.
