ABSTRACTWe discuss positron annihilation (2D-ACAR) measurements in the c-projection on an untwinned metallic single crystal of YBa2Cu3O7-x as a function of temperature, for five temperatures ranging from 30K to 300K. The measured 2D-ACAR intensities are interpreted in terms of the electron-positron momentum density obtained within the KKR-band theory framework. The temperature dependence of the 2D-ACAR spectra is used to extract a ‘background corrected’ experimental spectrum which is in remarkable accord with the corresponding band theory predictions, and displaysin particular clear signatures of the electron ridge Fermi surface.

Abstract We discuss the application of the positron annihilation angular correlation (ACAR) spectroscopy for investigating the electronic structure and Fermiology of high-Tc superconductors, with focus on the YBa2Cu3O7 system where most of the experimental and theoretical work has to date been concentrated. Detailed comparisons between the measured 2D-ACAR positron spectra and the corresponding band theory predictions show a remarkable agreement (for the normal state), indicat-ing that the electronic structure and Fermi surface of this material is described reasonably by the conventional picture.
