Abstract

Recent results on the study of high-TC superconductors using the e−–γperturbed angular correlation technique are presented. The basic features of the experimental equipment and its installation at the ISOLDE facility are briefly described. Results obtained from 197mHg implanted into high quality Y1Ba2Cu3O6+δ epitaxy thin films are presented and discussed.
