Abstract

X-ray absorption spectroscopy has been used to study superconducting compounds with the composition La2−x(Ba,Sr)xCuO4 for x=0 to 0.3 X-ray absorption measurements at the Cu K edge indicate that the copper valence is 2+ for all dopant concentrations, and that the mean square relative displacements for Cu-O nearest neighbors are approximately the same for all compositions, with an average characteristic temperature of 570±30 K. Measurements at the La L3 edge suggest that the number of empty states near the Fermi energy with O 2p character increases with dopant concentration.
