Abstract
We have measured the ion-channeling minimum yield (χmin) and angular width (Ψ1/2) for Y, Ba, Cu, and O in 2000 Å (001)-oriented films of YBa2Cu3O7−δ on MgO. The measurements mapped out a 30 K region around the critical temperature (Tc) in 1–2 K steps, and Tc was determinednin situ. A O16(α,α)16O resonance was used to study the O motions. χmin increases and Ψ1/2 decreases with increasing temperature for all elements, as expected for a smooth increase in vibration amplitude. We see no anomalous jumps in either parameter, which differs from previous reports on YBa2Cu3O7−δ bulk single crystals.
