Abstract

Carrier-free cobalt-57 serves as a good microprobe for Cu(1) sites in contrast to macroscopicallt substituted iron-57 used for absorption Mössbauer spectroscopy. In the oxygenated superconductor, the dominant species observed is the square planar Cu(1), while in the deoxygenated phase, the species representing Cu(1) site with two axial oxyanions is the dominant one. There is evidence of internal magnetic field at room temperature in the deoxygenated phase. The probe clearly shows the presence of two different phases, an oxygen rich and the other, the deficient one. The nucleus probes the delocalized s-electron density in the conduction band, and the magnitude of isomer shifts give indication of the degree of metallicity.
