Comparison of x-ray photoemission results for single crystal and polycrystalline YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub x/ allows us to identify oxygen vacancies in the Cu-O chains and determine their effects on the Cu, Ba, and Y core level line shapes. The deposition of adatoms of Ag onto single crystals of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub x/ and Bi/sub 2/Ca/sub 1+//sub x/Sr/sub 2-//sub x/Cu/sub 2/O/sub 8+//sub y/ leads to changes in the Cu 2p/sub 3//sub ///sub 2/ emission indicative of slight Cu/sup 2 +/ to Cu/sup 1 +/ surface reduction, with greater modification for the 1-2-3's than the 2-1-2-2's. O 1s core level results show Ag-induced broadening because of these surface effects. The Ba 3d and Y 3d structures showed minimal changes for the 1-2-3 surface. Ag deposition onto the 2-1-2-2 samples also leads to Bi dissociation and subsequent surface segregation.
