Influence of oxygen content and structural defects on low-temperature mechanical properties of high-temperature superconducting single crystals and ceramics

Abstract: The data for the microhardness and fracture toughness of Y–Ba–Cu–O and Bi-based single crystals and ceramics in the temperature range 77–293 K are presented and analyzed. Our study reveals that the microhardness of high temperature superconductors is very sensitive to the oxygen stoichiometry, the phase composition, the temperature, and to the microstructural defects such as impurities, intergranular boundaries, and voids. Attention is drawn to the anisotropy of the micromechanical properties and to the featur… Show more

“…We note that the hardness also increases with increasing ZnO amount in the YBCO system. This correlation between hardness and density was reported by other researchers [19,20]. Figure 1 shows the X-ray diffraction patterns of the samples (a) S1 (b) S2, and (c) S3.…”

“…This relation between hardness and density was reported by some other researchers. 23,24 In order to estimate the effect of ZnO addition on porosity of the samples, we measured the density of the samples and results were given in Table 1. When the results are examined comparatively, it is clearly seen that all measured and calculated characteristic parameters of the samples (i.e.…”

“…Bulk hardness of YBCO determinated at room temperature has been mostly obtained by conventional Vickers measurements and the values are in the range from 5 to 8 GPa [5,6]. Elastic modulus values measured in the range from nitrogen to room temperature and having a broad interval between 100-160 GPa [7].…”
