Abstract

The temperature dependence of the Rutherford backscattering in the 〈001〉 axial channeling mode for each constituent atom of single-crystal YBa2Cu3O7−y has been carried out to study a change in the structural properties at the superconducting transition. Anomalies of channeling behavior observed across the superconducting transition temperature suggest a structural instability or a change in the lattice. The anomalies of channeling for Y and Ba atoms suggest the phonon softening, while those for Cu and O atoms are not explained in terms of only the phonon softening, but probably indicate complicated lattice dynamics of Cu and O atoms.
