A small angle neutron scattering study of the flux-line lattice in a large untwinned single crystal of ${\mathrm{YBa}}_{2}{\mathrm{Cu}}_{3}{\mathrm{O}}_{7\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\delta}}$ is presented. In fields parallel to the $c$ axis, diffraction spots are observed corresponding to four orientations of a hexagonal lattice, distorted by the $a\ensuremath{-}b$ anisotropy. A value for the anisotropy, the penetration depth ratio, of ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{a}/{\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{b}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}1.18\left(2\right)$ was obtained. The high quality of the data is such that second-order diffraction is observed, indicating a well ordered FLL. With the field at 33\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} to $c$, a field dependent reorientation of the lattice is observed around 3 T.
1
In fields parallel to the c-axis, diffraction shows four orientations of a hexagonal FLL distorted by a-b anisotropy.
2
Second-order diffraction peaks were observed, indicating a well-ordered flux-line lattice.
3
Small angle neutron scattering (SANS) was used to study the flux-line lattice (FLL) in a large single crystal of untwinned YBa2Cu3O7−δ.
4
The penetration depth anisotropy (λa/λb) was measured as 1.18(2).
5
With the field tilted 33° from the c-axis, a field-dependent re-orientation of the lattice occurs around 3 T.
