This work was supported by CICYT MAT2000-1468, Fundación Ramón Areces and CAM07N/0008/2001.We report the effects of epitaxial strain and deoxygenation on high quality [YBa_(2)Cu_(3)O_(7-x)(YBCO)_(N) /PrBa_(2)Cu_(3)O_(7)(PBCO)_(5)]_(1000 Å) superlattices, with 1 < N < 12 unit cells. High-spatialresolution electron energy loss spectroscopy shows that strained, fully oxygenated YBCO layers are underdoped. Irrespective of whether underdoping is induced by strain or deoxygenation, x-ray diffraction analysis shows that T_(c) correlates directly with separation of the CuO_(2) bilayers.engDirect correlation between T_(c) and CuO_(2) bilayer spacing in YBa_(2)Cu_(3)O_(7-x)journal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.66.134517http://journals.aps.org/open access537High-temperature superconductorCharge-transferTransition-temperatureGrain-boundariesThin-filmsSuperlatticesPressureDependenceLayersOrigin.ElectricidadElectrónica (Física)2202.03 Electricidad
