Popis: Tc of the Bi 2201 system is known to increase by annealing in the absence of oxygen. In order to understand the changes of the geometric or electronic structure in CuO 2 plane, the energy structure of Bi system is studied by Cu K-edge XANES. For the single crystal of Bi 2212, where the CuO 2 layer has pyramidal structure, 1s-4p π transition splits into two peaks. This splitting is neither observed for the single crystal of Bi 2201 phase nor for the Nd- or the La- systems. When the Bi 2201 phase is annealed in the absence of oxygen, the splitting in the 1s-4p π transition is also observed. This may be due to the fact that the apex oxygen in 2201 phase moves into the direction from CuO 2 plane to BiO plane, and as a result, the octahedral symmetry breaks, giving similar energy structure to pyramidal CuO 2 plane.
