摘要
DC magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal a dependence of the superconducting critical temperature (T(c)) on the cooling rate (R) in super-oxygenated La2CuO4+delta. Bulk T(c)'s vary by approximately 4 K depending on whether the sample is ''quenched'' or slow cooled through a narrow temperature range around 195 +/- 10 K. La-139 nuclear quadrupole resonance spectroscopy (NQR) shows the appearance of a feature indicating a distribution of local structures in the metallic phase below approximately 195 K, the same temperature regime where R is critical for T(c). The spectral weight associated with the metallic phase appears to increase for rapid cooling.
