Abstract

An isotope effect has been searched for in the high-

T_{c}

superconductor

Y {Ba}_{2} {Cu}_{3} O_{7 - δ}

through substitution of

{}^{18}O

for

{}^{16}O

. No shift in the superconducting transition temperature

T_{c}

is observed by electrical resistivity or magnetic susceptibility measurements. We discuss the implications of this result for mechanisms of superconductivity in the high-

T_{c}

oxides.
