Iv. Ostrovskii et In. Salivonov, ACOUSTIC-EMISSION ACCOMPANYING THE SUPERCONDUCTING TRANSITION IN HTS CERAMICS TLBACUO, Low temperature physics, 24(1), 1998, pp. 50-52
A peak of acoustic emission (AE) is observed experimentally at the sup
erconducting transition temperature in samples of the superconducting
ceramics Tl2Ba2CuO6+x. AE signals have been recorded by a piezoelectri
c transducer with the resonant frequency 1 MHz in the temperature rang
e 80-300 K. Relaxation anomalies are attributed to a change in the cha
rge state of linear defects and variations of the parameters of the cu
prate layer in the samples. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S
