Small-Angle Neutron Scattering from YBa2Cu3O7 and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 Near the Critical Temperature
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
One of the 30 meter small-angle neutron scattering spectrometers at NIST has been used to measure the scattering from YBa2Cu3O7 and Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 at a range of temperatures from 35 K to 135 K with wavevector transfers Q from 0.01 Å-1 to 0.08 Å-1. Considerable attention was paid to sample preparation in order to reduce the background scattering from crystalline defects and stoichiometric variations in the sample. For both materials, the difference in the differential scattering cross-sections at the critical temperature Tc and at temperatures of Tc ± 20 K showed considerable structure in Q, corresponding to spatial variations in the neutron scattering potential with Fourier components of wavelength of the order of 100 Å.
