Description

We have elucidated the distribution of the Sr and Ca atoms in the Bi2 Sr2-XCa1+XCu2O8+d system (0≤x≤0.8) by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The carrier concentration and the superconducting temperature Tc have a maximum at x=0.2 and then monotonously decrease with increasing x. From the XPS measurements, the Sr3d and Ca2p spectra are found to be decomposed into two states. We have clarified the occupation of the Sr and Ca atoms in the Sr- and Ca-layers and found that the deficiency in the Sr-layer have a great influence on superconductivity. (Author)
