Abstract / Description of output
The ordering in the Cu-O basal plane of the high T sub c superconductor
YBa sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub z is investigated. Asymmetric pairwise
interactions between nearest and next nearest neighbors are assumed.
Ordering instabilities in two-dimensional k-space are mapped out as a
function of the interactions and the ordered ground state
superstructures consisting of occupied and empty oxygen sites are
determined. A temperature-composition phase diagram is calculated by
means of the Cluster Variation Method. The thermodynamic behavior of the
superconducting compound is discussed in the light of these results.
