摘要
Neutron scattering studies of optimally doped single crystal YBa2Cu3O7-delta under applied magnetic field were used to assess the existence of antiferromagnetic (AF) correlations in vortices. In the superconducting (SC) state, a very weak signal at the (1/2 1/2 0) reciprocal lattice point was found. It is argued that this signal can be associated with AF correlations in vortex cores. An upper-limit average magnetic moment per vortex in each layer is estimated. Above T-c, weak paramagnetic scattering was observed, which we hypothesize is due to scattering from nearest-neighbor copper spins that are coupled ferromagnetically by a hole on an oxygen site between them.
