Abstract:

The Cu2p XPS satellites of high-Tc superconductors are compared with one of the Cu2+-containing compounds with different bonding type. The results show that Cu-O bonds in high-Tc superconductors are a blend of covalent and ionic. The contribution of covalent bonding to Cu-O bonds is greater for high-Tc superconductors than for CuO. The average partial charge on oxygen (-δO) are calculated for a number of high-Tc superconductors. A correlation between Tc and -δO has been found, i.e. the Tc increases with decreasing –δO.
