摘要：

This paper reports on parallel EPR studies of high-temperature superconductors based on the cuprate perovskites RBa2Cu3O6 + x (R = Y, Gd, Nd) and of KTaO3 : Cu, which also has a perovskite structure. EPR measurements performed on copper-doped KTaO3 crystals revealed Cu2+-Cu2+ copper pair centers. The copper ions making up pairs are assumed to occupy adjacent tantalum sites. The pair centers are chains consisting of two equivalent Cu2+ ions and three oxygen vacancies aligned in the [100] direction. The crucial point in the model proposed is the presence of an oxygen vacancy sandwiched between two Cu2+ ions, whereas the outer vacancies do not necessarily occupy neighboring sites. In this structure, complete charge compensation is achieved. Ferromagnetic exchange coupling takes place between the two copper ions. An investigation of the exchange and superhyperfine interactions of copper centers in crystalline potassium tantalate has permitted the estimation of the respective interactions in crystals of the cuprate superconductors which exhibit magnetic resonance signals due to exchange-coupled copper clusters in the case of oxygen deficiency.
