Resonant Ultrasound study of underdoped single crystal YBCO cuprates

ORAL

Abstract

We measure elastic constants and ultrasound attenuation in ultra-high quality underdoped YBCO cuprate single crystal samples. We observe a phase transition at the pseudogap temperature and reveal additional phase structure inside the pseudogap phase.
