Abstract
The effects of Ni-substitution on YBa2Cu4O8 have been investigated by Raman scattering, X-ray diffraction, resistivity and susceptibility measurements. Samples of YBa2(Cu 1−xNi x )4O8 with x = 0 to 0.1 were prepared using a highoxygen-pressure technique. As the Ni content is increased, the lattice parameter of the a axis increases, but that of the c axis decreases. The structure of the YBa2(Cu 1−xNi x )4O8 samples remain orthorhombic up to the highest doping concentration. The superconducting transition temperature T c decreases monotonically with increasing Ni concentration for x<0.03, with a coefficient of -32 K/at.%. It is found that the linewidth of Cu(2) A g mode at 150 cm−1 increases, while the frequency of the axial stretching vibration of 0(4) at 500 cm−1 remains constant for increasing Ni concentration. These facts suggest that Ni atoms will preferentially occupy the Cu(2) sites. The depression of T c is also discussed based on this substitution model.
