Abstract

Intercalation effect on BSCCO (2212) system, although it increases the interlayer distance and the c-axis remarkably, produces only a small change in the transition temperature. Thus, amongst other things, intercalation provides an effective method to investigate the influence of the interblock coupling. Electrons are transferred from the host Cu-O2 layers to the guest molecules I2, HgBr2, HgI2 leading to evolution of the Tc. For this we have made high resolution XANES study on the O K and Cu L3 edges to estimate the density of the doping holes. We attempt on basis of our and earlier results the evolution of Tc in these as also the much larger decrease produced in Tc for I2-intercalation for which the increase in basal spacing is the smallest of the three halides.
