Abstract

Tl 4f core levels of Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10, Tl2O3, and Tl2O were measured by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in order to elucidate the chemical state of Tl ions in the superconducting oxide. The Tl 4f7/2 level is found at 117.4, 118.2, and 118.6 eV for Tl2O3, Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10, and Tl2O, respectively. This result reveals that the Tl valence is between +3 and +1. The creation of holes in Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 is discussed in terms of a charge transfer between Tl ions and [Cu-O] layers. Furthermore, the stabilization of double [Tl-O] layers is also discussed from the viewpoint of structural chemistry.
