NEUTRON-DIFFRACTION STUDIES OF INTERATOMIC DISTANCES IN THE Y1-2XCAXTHXBA2CU3O7-DELTA SYSTEM

• Neutron diffraction studies have been performed for three samples of Y(1-2x)Ca(x)Th(x)Ba2Cu3O7-delta with 0 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 0.1. With increasing x, a decreased puckering of the Cu-O planes is found. Changes in copper oxygen distances are generally small. Evidence is found for a small increase in the distance between Cu(1) and O(4) (on the cell edge) with increased CaTh concentration. An increased oxygen disorder is observed at x = 0.1.
