Description

The electronic structure and surface interactions vapor-deposited Cu on single-crystal and polycrystalline Bi2Ca/sub 1+//sub x//sub Sr>2-//sub x//sub Cu>2/O/sub 8+//sub y/ were studied using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results are compared to the Cu/YBa2Cu3O/sub 7-//sub x/ interface. Changes in the Cu 2p satellite emission indicate that the Cu adatoms do not disrupt Bi2Ca/sub 1+//sub x/Sr/sub 2-//sub x/Cu2O/sub 8+//sub y/ as extensively as YBa2Cu3O/sub 7-//sub x/. However, deposition of Cu induces changes in the Bi environment in the superconductor, and surface segregation of Bi metal was observed at high coverages. Core-level attenuation results suggests minimal outdiffusion of oxygen, in contrast with what is observed for Cu/YBa2Cu3O/sub 7-//sub x/
