摘要
We did a detailed study on a series of samples of Eu(Ba1-xRx)(2)Cu3O7+delta (where R = La, Pr and Eu) by X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, magnetic and thermopower measurements. All R3+ substitutes went to the Ba2+ site and suppress superconductivity. The suppression of superconductivity does not have a simple relation to the ionic size of the substitutes. On the other hand, the change in crystal structure from orthorhombic to tetragonal has a strong dependence on the ionic size of the substitutes. Pr on Ba site did not cause unexpected structural distortions yet suppress superconductivity at a rate faster than other rare earths. Data of thermopower measurements and neutron diffraction from our rare earth substituted Eu123 samples show that the suppression of superconductivity by Pr on Ba site is electronic, not magnetic in nature.
