Elastic and Thermodynamic Properties of High Temperature Superconductors, a Brief Review
Abstract
Elastic properties of the high temperature superconductors La2 - xBaxCuO4 (LABCO), La2 - xSrxCuO4 (LASCO) and Y1Ba2Cu3O7 - δ (YBCO) are reviewed. The changes in sound velocity and the jump in specific heat are analysed. Using thermodynamic relations these results are compared with measured values of dTc/dp and Bc(0) obtained from the literature.
