Abstract

We report on x-ray diffraction measurements of the pressure dependence of the cell parameters of La1.7Ba0.3CuO4−y at room temperature up to 45 kbar. The compressibility κ≊5.6×10−4 kbar−1, and is nearly isotropic above 7 kbar. However, the contraction of the basal plane a lattice parameter appears to be negligible at lower pressure, indicating a possible structural change near 7 kbar which may be associated with a previously reported anomaly in the pressure dependence on Tc.
