Abstract:Case studies of 1T -TiSe 2 and YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−δ have demonstrated that x-ray diffraction (XRD) studies can be used to trace even subtle structural phase transitions which are inherently connected with the onset of superconductivity in these benchmark systems. Yet, the utility of XRD in the investigation of superconductors like MgB 2 lacking an additional symmetry-breaking structural phase transition is not immediately evident. Even though, high-resolution powder XRD experiments on MgB 2 in combination with max… Show more
