Local structural features of the superconducting Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+δ system: A polarized Cu K -edge XAS study [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Local structure of CuO 2 plane of the superconducting Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+δ (Bi2212) crystal at the optimum doping has been investigated by in-plane polarized Cu K -edge x-ray-absorption spectroscopy. We have determined the quadrupole character of the 1 s ⃗3 d x 2 - y 2 transition in the x-ray-absorption near-edge spectra by rotation of the in-plane polarization geometry by 45° from the Cu-O-Cu direction. The nonzero intensity of this transition in the polarization vector parallel to the Cu-O-Cu direction indicates local structural distortion of the CuO 4 square plane. The statistical distribution of the instantaneous Cu-O bonds is determined by polarized extended x-ray-absorption fine structure and discussed.
