Resumen:
The surface reactions that occur when adatoms of La are deposited onto the high-temperature
superconductor YBaZCu30 6,9 have been studied using high-resolution synchrotron radiation
photoelectron spectroscopy and inverse photoelectron spectroscopy. These adatoms lead to the
depletion of oxygen from the substrate as La-O forms at low coverage. The process of oxygen
withdrawal quickly becomes kinetically limited as the thickening overlayer impedes mass
transfer. At the same time, Cu atoms released from the disrupted, no-Ionger-superconducting
substrate out diffuse into, and segregate to the top of, the growing La overlayer. The complex
reacted interface, therefore, exhibits phases which are likely to be superconducting, insulating,
and metallic.
