The expressions for elastic constant for high temperature superconductors, derived using Mie-Grüneisen interaction potential, are used to analyze the elastic properties (bulk modulus, elastic wave velocity)  of La2-xSrxCuO4 for x = 0.10 to 0.20. The Debye temperature θD has also been computed which is found to decrease with increasing Sr concentration. The value of bulk modulus in superconducting phase (Ks) is larger than the value in its normal phase (Kn=113.8 GPa) for x = 0.10 to 0.14. After this limit Ks decreases.  A simple empirical relation between the difference in bulk moduli in the two phases (superconducting and normal) and Tc is proposed. The value of Tc for  La1.85Sr0.15CuO4 obtained from the proposed relationship is in good agreement with the experimental value. Keywords: Phase transition temperature; Debye temperature; High-temperature superconductor. © 2010 JSR Publications.

The inherently weak mechanical properties of bulk monolithic high-temperature superconductors (HTS) have been a concern. Properly selected reinforcements in fiber and whisker forms have been introduced to the HTS ceramics to improve their mechanical properties. In this paper, mechanical behavior of a MgO-whisker reinforced Pb-doped Bi-2223 (BPSCCO) HTS composite fabricated by a solid-state processing method is studied. The (MgO)w/BPSCCO HTS composite has been shown to exhibit excellent superconducting properties. Elastic properties, strengths, and notched fracture toughnesses of both the monolithic BPSCCO and the (MgO)w/BPSCCO HTS composite are investigated. Detailed mechanical properties are reported for the first time for the (MgO)w/BPSCCO HTS composite. Mechanisms of strengthening and toughening in the MgO-whisker-reinforced HTS composite are also discussed.
