A well-characterized Eu-doped Bi2Sr2Ca1-xEuxCu2Oy (x=0 to 1) system has been studied using core-level photoemission. The trivalent Eu is found to be incorporated into the lattice, causing an increase in the valence states of Bi, Sr and Ca and a decrease in the Cu valence. The observed superconductor-insulator transition in this system is found to be caused by an enhanced insulating nature of the Bi-O planes and a decrease in the O 2p hole concentration in the Cu-O planes. The results of Sr 3d, Ca 2p, Cu 2p and Bi 4f core-level spectra are discussed in detail.

Abstract
A well-characterized Eu-doped Bi2Sr2Ca1-xEuxCu2Oy (x=0 to 1) system has been studied using core-level photoemission. The trivalent Eu is found to be incorporated into the lattice, causing an increase in the valence states of Bi, Sr and Ca and a decrease in the Cu valence. The observed superconductor-insulator transition in this system is found to be caused by an enhanced insulating nature of the Bi-O planes and a decrease in the O 2p hole concentration in the Cu-O planes. The results of Sr 3d, Ca 2p, Cu 2p and Bi 4f core-level spectra are discussed in detail.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
