X-ray absorption spectroscopy in YBa2Cu3O7−x superconductors with variable oxygen content

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

We report the results of XANES and EXAFS measurements performed on YBa2Cu3O7−x compounds withx ranging from 0 to 1. Data for Cu and YK-edges are presented and definite trends in the behaviour of the main near edge structures are singled out, which allow to address the question of the Cu and Y oxidation states and to elucidate the role of the chemical environment in determining the shape of the absorption lines. The inter-atomic distances as obtained by EXAFS generally agree with the results of X-ray diffraction data with the exception of the Y−O distances. Possible sources of this discrepancy are indicated.
