Va. Frolov et al., THE ANISOTROPY OF KINETIC-PROPERTIES OF HTSC CERAMICS UNDER MECHANICAL STRESSES, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 235, 1994, pp. 1307-1308
Behavior of thermoelectric power and heat conduction in ceramic YBaCuO
has been found to be anisotropic with respect to the axis of applied
mechanical stresses. The strongest anisotropy has been observed for ch
arge transfer up to the change of effect sign. The heat conduction coe
fficient has also been found to depend on the relative position of com
pression axis and on the heat transfer axis without effect sign variat
ion.
