摘要
To characterize the electronic properties of superconducting YBa2Cu3O7, its work function \varPhi has been measured by two different methods. From the photoelectric and electrical determinations, it is shown that \varPhi of polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7 is close to 4.0 eV. The relatively high work function of YBa2Cu3O7 for its low electron density implies that a strong exchange-correlation potential exists in the bulk. Systematic studies are necessary in order to determine whether or not the work function is a useful parameter for the new high-Tc superconductors as well as for the conventional ones. © 1990 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.
