Quenching and annealing effects on the specific heat of YBa[sub 2]Cu[sub 3]O[sub 7[minus][delta]]

Effect of heat treatments and quenching with no change in oxygen content was studied for a polycrystalline sample of YBCO. Quenching the sample changes the specific heat and resistivity, showing that nonsuperconducting regions, some of which are not associated with Cu[sup 2+] moments, can be created in YBCO by heat treatment alone.

The Debye temperature of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}} and its dependence on the volume fraction of superconductivity

Specific-heat measurements, on polycrystalline samples of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-{delta}}, YBCO, have shown sample-to-sample variations in the volume fraction of superconductivity, f{sub s}, which is correlated with the concentration of Cu{sup 2+} magnetic moments in the YBCO lattice. At low temperatures the lattice specific heat also varies with f{sub s}, but these variations do not persist above {approximately}20K. The low-temperature data show that {Theta}{sub 0}{sup {minus}3} varies lin… more

Specific heat evidence for strong coupling in YBa sub 2 Cu sub 3 O sub 7

Specific heat data for YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7} are consistent with {gamma} = 15 {plus minus} 3 mJ/mole{center dot}K{sup 2} and 2{Delta}{sub 0}/k{Tc} = 6.8 {plus minus} 0.6. These results indicate that strong-coupling effects are present but that the coupling is unlikely to be predominantly a conventional electron-phonon interaction. 8 refs., 1 fig.

Application of an Electrochemical Quartz Crystal Microbalance to the study of electrocatalytic films

The EQCM was used to study the deposition and composition of electrodeposited pure PbO{sub 2} and Bi-doped PbO{sub 2} active toward anodic oxygen-transfer reactions. Within the doped films, Bi is incorporated as Bi{sup +5} in the form of BiO{sub 2}A, where A is ClO{sub 4}{sup {minus}} or NO{sub 3}{sup {minus}}. For deposition of these 2 materials, changes in hydration between the Au oxide and the depositing film resulted in higher mass-to-charge ratios. XRD and XPS were used to study the films;… more

Application of a Sixth Order Generalized Stress Function To Determine Limit Loads for Plates with Triangular Penetration Patterns

The capabilities to obtain limit load solutions of plates with triangular penetration patterns using fourth order functions to represent the collapse surface has been presented in previous papers. These papers describe how equivalent solid plate elastic-perfectly plastic finite element capabilities are generated and demonstrated how such capabilities can be used to great advantage in the analysis of tubesheets in large heat exchanger applications. However, these papers have pointed out that alt… more

Thickness effects on the plastic collapse of perforated plates with triangular penetration patterns

This paper investigates the effects of plate thickness on the accuracy of limit load solutions obtained using an elastic-perfectly plastic [EPP] equivalent solid [EQS] procedure for flat perforated plates with a triangular array of penetrations. The EQS approach for limit loads is based on an EQS collapse surface that is valid for generalized plane strain. This assumption is applicable for very thick plates but is known to be less reasonable for very thin plates where plane stress may be a bett… more

A collapse surface for a perforated plate with an equilateral triangular array of penetrations

This paper describes the development of incipient yield and subsequent collapse surfaces for a plate containing a large number of small circular penetrations arranged in an equilateral triangular array. The collapse surface developed here is appropriate for formulating a generic elastic-plastic flow theory for perforated materials. A unit cell is defined to characterize the mechanical response of an equilateral triangular array of penetrations. An elastic-perfectly plastic [EPP] finite element … more
