Valence electronic structure of Y/sub 1/Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter; (United States)
The occupied and unoccupied valence-band structure of Y/sub 1/Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ is probed with photoemission, inverse photoemission, and near-edge x-ray absorption. The Cu 3d and O 2p states nearly coincide, thereby maximizing their interaction. The occupied states are shifted down by 2 eV relative to ground-state band calculations, indicating localization and a Coulomb interaction U>2 eV. The band width is 10 eV with the top of the band at E/sub F/+2.5 eV. Cu is found in the 2+ oxidation state. O has 2p holes which are assigned to specific oxygen atoms.
