Electronic and structural properties of the Cu - Bi₂CaSr₂Cu₂O₈ interface

Summary, in English

The formation of the Cu-Bi₂CaSr₂Cu₂O₈ interface has been studied by photoelectron spectroscopy using synchrotron radiation. Photon energies in the range 20-1000 eV were utilized in order to probe both the valence band and to monitor chemical changes upon Cu deposition, as revealed by the core-level shifts. A strong chemical reaction between Bi₂CaSr₂Cu₂O₈ and Cu is manifested by the formation of metallic Bi. From theb density variations as a function of electron emission angle it is shown that the metallic Bi segregates to the top surface layer.
