Nm. Hamdan et al., ANISOTROPIC STRESS OF A (BI,PB)2SR2CA2CU3O10 HIGH-T(C) SUPERCONDUCTOR, Superconductor science and technology, 7(3), 1994, pp. 118-120
The residual stresses in a (Bi, Pb)2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10) high-T(c) supercondu
ctor have been determined using x-ray and sin2 psi analysis. The resul
ts indicate high anisotropy in the stress of this material for planes
along the c-axis, compared with stress along the mixed-index planes. T
he calculated anisotropic ratios of the stress in this material are in
agreement with ratios obtained from thermal expansion data for the sa
me material.
