Abstract

Raman spectra of the superconducting phase and nonsuperconducting phases, which mainly include semiconducting-phase and impurity-phase BaCuO2, are examined in Y-Ba-Cu-O compounds. The doping effects from substitution of copper atoms by impurity atoms are discussed. The substitution of a lighter atom, e.g., vanadium, gives rise to local modes at 810 and 840 cm−1, which are qualitatively elucidated by the theory of lattice dynamics in nonideal solids with a local perturbational operator related to the mass-defective coefficient. In tin substitution there is a critical doping xc=1. Above xc the system becomes nonsuperconducting, which could be explained on the basis of band-structure analysis. The emergence of a Raman line at 646 cm−1 below T0=234 K shows a phase transition. The discrimination of this line from 640 cm−1 in impurity-phase BaCuO2 is clearly made.
