Structural inhomogeneities in oxygen-deficient ErBa2Cu3O6+x associated with the tetragonal-to-orthorhombic transition: Evidence of first-order behavior.

Neutron powder diffraction and ac susceptibility data on a series of ErBa2Cu3O6+x samples prepared to achieve thermal equilibrium at low temperature provide evidence of structural inhomogeneities near the tetragonal-to- orthorhombic (T'O) transition. In the composition range 0.25x0.45, the data...
