Abstract
155Gd-Mössbauer studies of (Pr0.925Gd0.075)Ba2Cu3O7-δ in the tetragonal (δ = 0.9) and orthorhombic (δ = 0.1) phase reveal transitions to magnetic order at TN = 7.5 K and 16.5 K, respectively, of the Pr sublattice. The hyperfine interaction parameters of 155Gd in the orthorhombic sample above TN compare well with those data obtained in orthorhombic GdBa2Cu3O7-δ and prove that Gd substitutes for Pr. The marked difference in ordering temperatures of the Pr sublattice for the two phases is discussed in the terms of the Pr-4f electron hybridization depending sensitively on the oxygen content δ.
