Abstract
ABSTRACTThe question of valence of Cu and rare-earth atoms in the newly discovered oxide superconductors with high transition temperatures is crucial to the understanding of their electronic structure. We have measured the X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) of Cu K transition and Pr Ljjj transition to obtain information on the valence of Cu, and Pr in La2−xSrxCuO4 and Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3O7-δ. We will present the experimental results, compare them with calculations of absorption cross-section for model atomic clusters, and discuss the valence of Cu as a function of oxygen concentration.
