Abstract
Neutron diffraction techniques have been used to study the antiferromagnetic form factor of Sr2CuO2Cl2, which has the body-centered-tetragonal (Ι 4/mmm) K2NiF4-type structure (the same as that of tetragonal La2CuO4 but with the out-of-plane oxygens replaced by Cl and the La by Sr). The antiferromagnetic form factor was obtained at 15 K by measuring the integrated intensities of the (½ ½ 0), (½ ½ 2), (½ ½ 3), (3⁄2 3⁄2 0), (3⁄2 3⁄2 6), (3⁄2 5⁄2 1), (3⁄2 3⁄2 8), and (5⁄2 5⁄2 0) magnetic reflections of a single crystal of Sr2CuO2Cl2. The experimentally determined magnetic form factor is similar to that of La2CuO4. The experimental data were compared with the Cu2+ magnetic form factor and with the results of band theoretical calculations. We find that the fit to the experimental data is improved if one assumes a dipolar spin polarization on the in-plane oxygen ions.
