Vv. Pustovalov, INFLUENCE OF SUPERCONDUCTING TRANSITION ON LOW-TEMPERATURE JUMP-LIKE DEFORMATION OF METALS AND ALLOYS, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 234, 1997, pp. 157-160
Systemized results on the influence of the superconducting transition
upon the macroscopic low temperature jump-like deformation are present
ed for a number of pure metals and alloys. In all cases qualitatively
similar results were observed-in the superconducting state the jump-li
ke deformation is either absent or underdeveloped as compared to the n
ormal state. This finding is discussed in terms of current concepts of
the nature of low temperature instability. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science
