Abstract:

Polarized X-ray absorption spectroscopic experiments have been carried out for the mercuric bromide intercalated Bi₂Sr₂CaCu₂O_y single crystal, in order to understand the variation of anisotropic resistivities upon HgBr₂ intercalation as well as to probe the electronic structure of HgBr₂ intercalate. The Br K- and Bi L_III-edge spectra indicate a significant electron transfer from bismuth to bromine, implying an overlap between Bi 6s and Br 4p orbitals. From the Hg L_III- and Br K-edge data, it is also found that HgBr₂ intercalation gives rise to an electron localization in the (Hg–Br) bond, which leads to poor electronic conduction along the intercalant layer. In this context, the semiconducting out-of-plane resistivity of HgBr₂ intercalate can be explained by the poor conductivity of the intercalated HgBr₂ layer, even though the orbital overlap between Bi and Br facilitates the electron conduction between host and guest along the c-axis.
