Large Anisotropic Thermal Expansion Anomaly near the Superconducting Transition Temperature in MgB2
An anisotropic lattice anomaly near the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, was observed in MgB2 by high-resolution neutron powder diffraction. The a-axis thermal expansion becomes negative near Tc, while the c-axis thermal expansion is unaffected. This is qualitatively consistent with a dep...
