Popis: A series of gold-substituted perovskite superconductorsBa2Y(Cu1−xAux)3O7−δ (x = 0–0.1) was synthesized. Forx = 0.1 there was no change in thea andb lattice parameters (a = 3.826A˚andb = 3.889A˚) but a 0.06A˚c axis expansion to 11.75A˚was observed. Substituted gold was found to be trivalent by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Replacing Cu(1) in the copper oxide chain with a slight reordering of oxygen is consistent withc axis expansion. The formal charge of the site remains trivalent while remaining Cu in the chains is reduced to Cu(I) resulting in an oxygen stoichiometry
