Abstract

Femtosecond spectroscopy at room temperature indicates a monotonic rise in the Fermi level E_F vs. Pr concentration x in Y_1-xPr_xBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ. For x=0.12±0.02, the Fermi level lies 2.0 eV below the unoccupied Cu d bands. The decrease in T_c with increasing x is consistent with a band filling model. The room temperature decay time τ of the transient reflectivity ΔR increases from τ<60 fs in superconducting YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ to τ=140 fs in non-superconducting PrBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ. The effects of Pr substitution for Y on the position of the Fermi level are qualitatively similar to the effects of de-oxygenation on the E_F of YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ.
