Ev. Bezugly et al., THE ELASTIC-MODULI OF SINGLE-CRYSTALS OF LA2-XSRXCUO4 SYSTEM - ANISOTROPY IN AB PLANE, Fizika nizkih temperatur, 21(1), 1995, pp. 86-96
The elastic moduli of single crystals of a La2-xSrxCuO4 system are mea
sured. A considerable anisotropy of the elastic moduli is observed in
untwinned samples for x = 0. If is found that for x = 0.13 some of the
elastic moduli undergo abrupt changes under the tetra - ortho structu
re transformation. A theory of elastic properties of polydomain sample
s is developed.
