Abstract:Electronic excitations of Y -Ba -Cu -0 polycrystalline material in superconducting form havc been investigated by electron energy loss spectroscopy in reflection. The data obtained confirm recent band structure models for this material. Low electron energy losses correspond to energy levels close to the Fermi cnergy with an upper and lower Hubbard subband and an anionic 0 2p band in the middle.Loss peaks due to intcrband transitions, plasmon excitations, and core electron cxcitations havc bccn observed, the or… Show more
