E-mail harald.hauglin@fys.uio.no; preprint also available at http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/cond-mat/0209632. An atomic beam probe is used to study the structure and dynamics of quantized supercurrent vortex lines in YBa{2}Cu{3}O{7-?} at temperatures up to within 0.7 K below T{C}. Here we report the direct observation of a vortex configuration with sample wide bond-orientational order but only short-range translational correlation. The data imply the existence of an intermediate "hexatic" vortex line liquid phase. We find that the hexatic liquid is in thermal equilibrium over a narrow temperature range below T{C} and is quenched into an immobile hexatic glass at low temperatures.

Parlinski, "Phonon dispersion and lifetimes in MgB2." E-mail abhay.shukla@lmcp.jussieu.fr; preprint also available at http://xxx.lanl.gov/abs/cond-mat/0209064. We measure phonon dispersion and linewidth in a single crystal of MgB2 along the Gamma-A and Gamma-M directions using inelastic X-Ray scattering. Anomalous broadening of the E2g phonon mode is found along Gamma-A only. We use Density Functional Theory to compute the effect of both electron-phonon coupling and anharmonicity on the linewidth, obtaining excellent agreement with experiment. The dominant contribution to the linewidth is always the electron-phonon coupling.
