M. Capaccioli et al., LOW-TEMPERATURE VIBRATIONAL ANHARMONICITY OF EU-151 IN EUBA2CU3O7-DELTA, Journal of physics. Condensed matter, 7(12), 1995, pp. 2429-2438
The angular averaged mean-square displacement of Eu-151 in EuBa2Cu3O7-
delta was measured as a function of temperature by Mossbauer spectrosc
opy using the absorption area method. Large low-temperature anharmonic
ity was found; i.e. the adiabatic potential experienced by Eu3+ ions p
resents a 'wine-bottle bottom' shape with a hat region about 0.1 Angst
rom wide. Comparisons with other experimental results are made.
