Abstract

Neutron scattering has been used to study the vibrational density of states and the atomic structure of the high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7, and the analogous nonsuperconducting compound YBa2Cu3O6. The density of states of the superconductor shows a strong double peak at about 20 meV and a second major maximum near 70 meV with additional less-intense features present at intermediate energies. The YBa2Cu3O6 material shows a similar energy spectrum above 45 meV; however, below this energy there are significant differences associated with the O vacancies in the linear b-axis chain site.
