Abstract
The valency of copper in freshly prepared as well as in situ high-temperature oxygen-treated 123 oxides was analysed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results suggest the presence of Cu 2+ and Cu 3+ along with Cu +. This observation is supported by cyclic voltammograms of 123 oxides recorded in a formamide medium. The valence band of 123 oxides was probed using X-ray (MgK=) and ultraviolet (He-I) sources. It was observed that the Cu-O hybridized orbital in YBa2Cu307_ x responsible for conduction decreases with time in an ultrahigh vacuum and increases with oxygen treatment temperature.
