Abstract

We have examined the role of H on the superconductivity properties, the atomic structure, and the electronic state in the HxYBa2Cu3O7. The hydrogen solid solution phase (up to ×≃O.2) exhibits a superconducting transition at 94 K, which was usually slightly higher than the starting oxide (YBa2Cu3O7, while the hydride phases (H rich) are not superconducting. Infrared (IR), x-ray diffraction, and x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements indicate that H is located interstitially only near Cu sites.
