Abstract

Cu L3 x-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and Cu L 3 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) of YBa2Cu3O6.5+x are compared. The breakdown of one-electron picture of its electronic structure is reported. The data are interpreted by mixing of Cu 3d9 and of [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] is a hole in the oxygen derived band, ligand hole) many body configuration in the initial state. The localization of Cu 3d9 configuration is indicated by the bare Coulomb interaction Udd~6 eV . The conductivity is assigned to the itinerant [Formula: see text] configuration. The experimental evidence that the additional oxygen x, giving higher Tc , increases the weight of the [Formula: see text] configuration is reported. The presence of holes on the oxygen atoms is confirmed by the Ols XPS spectra. The Cu3+(Cu 3d8) configuration is not observed in L3 XANES in agreement with valence band XPS giving the energy of the 3d8 excited state at about 12 eV above the ground state. An energy scheme of the many body configurations in YBa2Cu3O~7 is obtained. These experiments give experimental evidence that the high Tc superconductivity is due to pairing of holes in the oxygen valence band interacting with localized electrons at the Cu sites.
