Abstract
The oxygen concentration in the Y1Ba2Cu3O7-xsuperconducting compound has been changed by subjecting it to rapid quenching from temperatures in the range 500-1000 °C. The lower oxygen concentration destroys the superconductivity, causes removal of the orthorhombic distortion in the perovskite structure and results in a metal-insulator (m-I) transition. The presence of variable range hopping conductivity and thermopower in the insulating regime strongly suggests that the m-I transition is of anderson type. The results in general are understood in terms of the relative overlap between dz2 and dx2-γ2 components of the eg band of the octahedrally coordinated copper atoms.
