Abstract
It is found that YBa2Cu3O6+x samples subjected to a load absorb oxygen. The phenomenon is associated with a load-induced shift in the phase transition point. In addition, this shift increases the chemical potential of the oxygen atoms in the loaded sample and is a reason for the increased compressibility of the material near the phase transition.
