Evidence for an axial oxygen-centered lattice fluctuation associated with the superconducting transition in YBa2Cu3O7
The axial oxygen contributions to the Cu K-edge, polarized, extended X-ray absorption fine structure of YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/ are analyzed for 10[left angle bracket]or=T[left angle bracket]or=105 K, using a novel approach in which the radial distribution function is directly calculated from model potentials. The best fit is obtained with a double-well potential with two nearly equally populated O(4) sites 0.13 AA apart. The site separation decreases 0.02 AA in a region near T/sub c/. This perturbation of the structure is accompanied by a large increase of the tunneling frequency of approximately 80 K between the two wells, suggesting a coupling between superconducting fluctuations and nonlinear phonons.
