Abstract

Spectra of the oxygen K-edge extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) of the superconducting compound Y-Ba-Cu-O were obtained by measuring the total electron yield as a function of incident x-ray energy at temperatures between 77K and 300K. This technique affords a convenient way for probing the local environment around the oxygen atoms and soft modes in the lattice.
