Understanding Core Level Decay Processes in the High-Temperature Superconductors

Abstract

A highly correlated CuOn cluster model is utilized to interpret the core level Auger and X-ray emission decay spectra for YBa2Cu3O7-x and CUO. The evidence indicates that the initial-state shakeup states relax to states of the same symmetry before the core level decay, provided they have a shakeup excitation energy much greater than the core level width. Keywords: Superconductivity, Auger spectroscopy, X ray emission spectroscopy, Hubbard model, Copper oxides.
