Nl. Saini et al., TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT LOCAL INSTABILITY OF THE HG1212 STRUCTURE BY POLARIZED EXAFS, Journal de physique. IV, 7(C2), 1997, pp. 1245-1246
The local structure of the Hg1Ba2CaCu2O6+delta (Hg1212) crystal has be
en investigated by temperature dependent polarized Cu K-edge extended
x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). We have observed an anomalous
behavior of the local structure showing anomaly at around the superco
nducting transition temperature T-C in the temperature dependence of t
he Cu-O(planar) distance. The result suggests similarity of the temper
ature dependent local instability in the superconducting cuprates.
