Phonon anomaly at T sub c in (Y/Er)Ba sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub 7-. delta

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5344955
Ion channeling in single crystals of (Y/Er)Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}} reveal an abrupt change ({approximately}0.01A) at the superconducting transition temperature (T{sub c}) in displacements of the Cu and O atoms perpendicular to the (001) direction. This anomalous change in atomic displacements shifts directly with stoichiometry-induced changes in T{sub c}. Blocking patterns indicate no large structural changes across T{sub c}. 12 refs., 3 figs.
