(a) Temperature dependence of Debye–Waller factor of Cu–O coordination in Sr2CuO3+δ, showing anomalous change around 115 K and 60 K. The circles in the Fig. 4(a) are the fitting result using Debye model. (b) Temperature evolution of the peak intensity ratio R = ( b 1 a 1 ) / ( a 1 + b 1 ) obtained from the XANES spectra of Sr2CuO3+δ, also showing clear changes around 115 K and 60 K. The inset is a typical Cu K-edge XANES of Sr2CuO3+δ (δ = 0.4) at 20 K and its best fitting result.
