57Fe,119Sn, and151Eu Mössbauer spectroscopy was used to study the chemical structure, phonon mode changes, and low-temperature phase transformation around the Tcas well as suppression of superconductivity in high-temperature superconductors and related compounds. Anomalous temperature-dependent changes in the total57Fe spectral area fraction and in the Mössbauer line shift were simultaneously found around the Tcin a EuBa2(Cu0.9957Fe0.01)3O7-dsuperconductor. These anomalous changes were attributed to phonon softening and low-temperature phase transformation occurring around the superconducting transition. Significant differences were observed between the57Fe Mössbauer spectra of superconducting EuBa2(Cu0.9957Fe0.01)3O7-dand the isostructural non-superconducting PrBa2(Cu0.9957Fe0.01)3O7-d. The differences were interpreted in connection with the suppression of superconductivity (by hole filling or hybridization of Pr, Cu and O states) in the Pr-containing compound. The unusually high isomer shift value observed in the Pr-containing material can give evidence for the charge transfer mechanism between the Cu(1) chains and the Cu(2) planes and for its role in the suppression of superconductivity.

Ytrium-based high temperature superconductor (HTS) YBa2Cu3O7−y was studied electrically, by Mössbauer spectroscopy and also structurally. The anomaly in the 90 K region of the Mössbauer spectra and resistivity suggests strongly trapping of the resonating valence bond (RVB) of oxigen vacancies on the base of the orthorombic cell.
