MÖSSBAUER EFFECT STUDY OF THE EU-Y-Ba-Cu-O SUPERCONDUCTOR

Abstract

In this work the hyperfine interactions of (EuxY1−x)0.3Ba0.1CuO3(x=0.5, 0.7, 1.0) superconductors have been studied by 151Eu Mössbauer effect. X-ray diffraction shows that the materials are of single phase. Mössbauer spectra were measured at 300K and 83K. The results show that Eu ions are in the trivalent oxidation state. The isomer shift decreases with the increasing of composition x. The electron density at the 151Eu nuclei is decreased below the zero resistance temperature.
