Propagation of ultrasonic waves and anomalies nearT c in single crystalline YBa2Cu3O7−x high-T c superconductors

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

The attenuation and the velocity of ultrasonic waves in single crystalline high-T c YBa2Cu3O7−x have been measured in the temperature range from 3 to 280 K for the C11-, C33-, C44- and C66-mode. At the superconducting transition a pronounced peak in the absorption is observed for the longitudinal C11-mode. The longitudinal C11- and C33-modes and the transverse C44-mode exhibit a plateau in the temperature dependence of the velocity. The temperature dependence of the absorption of the transverse C44-mode reveals a change in the slope atT c. The data are compared with the predictions derived from a thermodynamic treatment and with the results of measurements on coarse grain and fine grain sintered and sinter-forged materials.
