Pseudoelastic behavior in Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3Oy compounds
Tensile tests show that ferroelastic loops always occur at 100–150 K, 200–250 K and room temperature in the Y1−xPrxBa2Cu3Oy samples withx=0 and 0.1 for whichT c is 92 K and 82.5 K respectively, and the shape memo...

Study on Thermal Hysteresis of Elastic Modulus in Granular Y-Ba-Cu-O and Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O
A large thermal hysteresis ( < 100 K) of elastic modulus was measured for coarse grained Y-Ba-Cu-O and Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O. Whereas, only a small thermal hysteresis (2~3 K) near the velocity minima at 240 K, and 15...

Elastic Constants in C-Plane of Single Crystal Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8 Between 80 K and 260 K
The temperature dependence of the in-plane C11, C22, C12 and C66 modes between 80 and 260 K of superconducting crystals of Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8 have been obtained via the measurements of ultrasonic-velocities. The anis...
