摘要
T '-RE2CUO4 (RE: rare-earth element), after appropriate "reduction", has fairly high conductivity and also exhibits clear Fermi edge in photoemission spectroscopy. To clarify the origin of conductivity in the T ' mother compounds, we evaluated the unscreened charge-transfer gap (Delta(0)) for T '-RE2CUO4 and T-La2CuO4. The Delta(0) value for T '-compounds almost linearly decreases with increasing the ionic radius of RE from 12.24 eV for T '-Tm2CuO4 to 9.90 eV for T '-La2CuO4. The results qualitatively explain metallic conductivity in T '-RE2CuO4 for large RE. (c) 2006 Published by Elsevier B.V.
