Abstract
Neutron diffraction measurements have been taken on single crystals of RBa2Cu3O6+x to explore the nature of the magnetic order as a function of oxygen concentration x. The Cu-O planes order antiferromagnetically at TN1, with TN1 (x ≈ 0) ˜ 450 K. At lower temperatures the oxygen-deficient Cu planes also order magnetically, with a substantial low temperature moment (˜ 1/2 µB) and a simple antiferromagnetic sequencing along the c-axis. Both ordering temperatures decrease with increasing x, with TN2 being much more sensitive to x than TN1.
