Neutron diffraction study of the magnetic ordering of the Cu{sup ++} spins in Nd{sub 1.5}Ba{sub 1.5}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+x}
PDF Version Also Available for Download.
Description
Elastic neutron scattering experiments performed on single crystals of Nd{sub 1.5}Ba{sub 1.5}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+y} reveal successive antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering of the Cu{sup ++} spins. The as grown single crystals show an AF structure characterized by a Neel temperature T{sub N1} {approximately} 390K and a magnetic wave vector (1/2 1/2 0) referring to the tetragonal structure of NdBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6}. As the temperature is lowered below T{sub N2} {approximately} 150K, a spin reorientation develops and a second AF ordering with (1/2 1/2 1/2) wave vector is stabilized. When the samples are oxygenated the tetragonal symmetry and the Neel temperature T{sub …

Description
Elastic neutron scattering experiments performed on single crystals of Nd{sub 1.5}Ba{sub 1.5}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6+y} reveal successive antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering of the Cu{sup ++} spins. The as grown single crystals show an AF structure characterized by a Neel temperature T{sub N1} {approximately} 390K and a magnetic wave vector (1/2 1/2 0) referring to the tetragonal structure of NdBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 6}. As the temperature is lowered below T{sub N2} {approximately} 150K, a spin reorientation develops and a second AF ordering with (1/2 1/2 1/2) wave vector is stabilized. When the samples are oxygenated the tetragonal symmetry and the Neel temperature T{sub N1} remain unchanged, whereas the spin reorientation at T{sub N2} is suppressed. The results indicate that the Nd/Ba substitution increases the stability of the tetragonal structure upon the oxygen content. This may induce new possibilities of local oxygen ordering that favour the presence of holes in the deficient layer.
