Magnetic ordering in YBa2Cu3Ox studied by μ+ spin rotation

Abstract

YBa2Cu3Ox is known to be antiferromagnetic (AFM) for x ≲ 6.45 but the details of its sublattice magnetization(s) are still controversial. A zero-field μ+SR investigation of the x- and T-dependence of the local fields at several muon sites reveals sharp changes at 10K and 80K for an oriented powder sample with x ≈ 6.0, but other x ≈ 6.0 samples do not show the same features. The direction of the local field at one μ+ site is shown to be along the ĉ-axis. For x < 6.0 the samples still show local spin freezing up to 300K, but coherent AFM order is lost even at 3K.
