Abstract

A novel neutron scattering technique has been utilized to discover one-dimensional fluctuations with a very sharply defined modulation period of 16.65⁢Å along the b⁡(a) direction in YBa₂⁢Cu_3⁢O_6.93. The fluctuations are found to be absent in the reduced oxygen compound YBa_2⁢Cu_3⁢O_6.15. The wave vector of the fluctuations is consistent with accepted values of 2⁢k_F for the Cu-O chains.
