Relation between superconductivity and oxidation state Pb of (Pb,Cu)Sr2(Ca,Y)Cu2Oy and (Pb,Cu)(Sr,La)2CuOy studied by chemical analysis and XPS measurements
Chemical analysis by K2Cr2O7 titration and the binding energy measurement of Pb 4f7/2 by XPS were applied for the evaluation of valence state of Pb in (Pb,Cu)Sr2(Ca,Y)Cu2Oy and (Pb,Cu)(Sr,La)2CuOy. Correlation be...

Photoemission and Inverse-photoemission Studies on Metal-insulator Transition of Bi-2201 Ceramics
Measurements of x-ray (XPS) and inverse-photoemission (IPES) spectroscopy have been performed on polycrystalline Bi2Sr2-xMxCuOy (M=La, Nd, and Gd, 0.4 ≤ x ≤ 0.9) ceramics in which metal-insulator transition is ob...

Carrier Hole Do** by Intercalation in High-Tc Bismuth Cuprates
Susceptibility measurements are presented on I2 intercalated and non-intercalated Bi2Sr2Can−1CunOy (n=1,2,3) which show that despite an increase in the separation of the BiO bilayers upon intercalation, the chang...
