Title: Valence determination in high T/sub c/ oxide superconductors by XANES (X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure) and Moessbauer spectroscopy. [La/sub 2-x/(Sr,Eu)/sub x/CuO/sub 4/; (Y,Gd,Pr)Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-delta/]

The question of valence of Cu and rare-earth atoms in the newly discovered oxide superconductors with high transition temperatures is crucial to the understanding of their electronic structure. X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structure and Moessbauer Spectroscopy were used to measure the valence of Cu, Pr, Eu, and Gd in La/sub 2-x/(Sr,Eu)/sub x/CuO/sub 4/ and (Y,Gd,Pr)Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-delta/. Results are presented, and the Cu valence as a function of oxygen concentration is discussed. 18 refs., 6 figs.
