High-temperature Raman measurements of single-crystal YBa2Cu3O/sub 7-//sub x/

  • 1. Sandia National Laboratories, Livermore, California 94550

Description

We report in situ Raman spectra from single-crystal YBa2Cu3O/sub 7-//sub x/ in oxygen at temperatures from 20 to 770 0C and from YBa2Cu3O/sub 6.2/ in argon at temperatures from 20 to 545 0C. For YBa2Cu3O/sub 7-//sub x/ in oxygen, a defect-induced phonon at ∼570 cm/sup -1/ appears above ∼500 0C and increases in intensity with increasing temperature and loss of oxygen. As YBa2Cu3O/sub 6.2/ is heated above ∼100 0C, dramatic changes occur in the phonon bands, resulting from three-dimensional reorganization (disordering) of the oxygen in the structure involving the formation of oxygen vacancies at the O(4) sites
