Abstract

L3-x-ray absorption spectroscopy is used together with inelastic neutron scattering and magnetic susceptibility measurements to characterize the Tb oxidation state and bonding in the high-Tc related materials Y1-xTbxBa2Cu3O7 and Pb2Sr2TbCu3O8. The Tb is found to be essentially trivalent in both compounds with no indications of significant hybridization. However, there is evidence of significant Tb-Tb magnetic interactions in Pb2Sr2TbCu3O8 that persist to temperatures much higher than the Tb long-range ordering temperature.
