Abstract: | We present some results obtained by Mössbauer spectroscopy on Yb3+ when substituted into YBa2Cu3O
x
-like compounds. For the fully substituted compound YbBa2Cu3O7, we describe the properties of the rare earth sublattice magnetic ordering which coexists with superconductivity. From measurements at the dilute substitution level, we study the Yb3+ crystal field properties and the thermal dependence of the Yb3+ paramagnetic relaxation rate. By making use of the molecular field produced on the Yb3+ probe by the magnetically correlated Cu(2), we examine the evolution of the Cu(2)-based magnetism as a function of carrier density and study the phase separation which occurs in the superconducting samples with intermediate oxygen levels. We also examine how the properties of the Yb3+ probe are influenced by the substitution of Pr3+ or Zn2+ (these substitutions are known to considerably influence the superconducting properties). |
