Abstrak

Halaju bunyi, dan atenuasi ultrasonik, a gelombang ricih dalam TmBa2Cu3O6.94 yang mensuperkonduksi dan TmBa2Cu3O6.40 yang tidak mensuperkonduksi telah diukur daripada 80 dan 200 K pada julat frekuensi MHz. Sampel superkonduktor TmBa2Cu3O6.94 menunjukkan histeresis terma dan peningkatan halaju ricih,   sebanyak 2.5% apabila suhu diturunkan daripada 200 K hingga 80 K. Sampel TmBa2Cu3O6.40 yang bukan superkonduktor pula menunjukkan peningkatan = 1.5% apabila suhu diturunkan dalam julat suhu yang sama.  Tiada histerisis yang ketara dicerap dalam sampel TmBa2Cu3O6.40 yang bukan superkonduktor. Superkonduktor TmBa2Cu3O6.94 menunjukkan halaju bunyi ricih meningkat dengan ketara berhampiran suhu genting mula (Tc-mula = 93 K) semasa penyejukan tetapi tidak semasa pemanasan. Sampel superkonduktor TmBa2Cu3O6.94 juga menunjukkan puncak atenuasi berhampiran suhu genting.  Di samping itu wujud puncak atenuasi yang lebar pada 140 K semasa suhu menaik dan 160 K semasa suhu menurun bagi sampel TmBa2Cu3O6.94 yang mensuperkonduksi. Anomali ultrasonik dalam superkonduktor TmBa2Cu3O6.94 diterangkan menggunakan kandungan oksigen dan tertiban oksigen dalam satah dan rantai kuprum oksida.

Abstract

Sound velocity, and ultrasonic attenuation, a of shear waves in superconducting TmBa2Cu3O6.94 and non-superconducting TmBa2Cu3O6.40 were measured from 80 to 200 K in the MHz frequency range. The superconducting TmBa2Cu3O6.94 showed a thermal hysteresis and increased shear velocity, by 2.5% when the temperature was lowered from 200 K to 80 K. The non-superconducting sample TmBa2Cu3O6.40 showed an increase in the shear velocity,  by 1.5% when the temperature was lowered in the same range.  No significant hysteresis was observed in the non-superconducting TmBa2Cu3O6.40. The superconducting TmBa2Cu3O6.94 showed a significant increase in the shear velocity near the onset critical temperature (Tc-onset = 93 K) during cooling but not warming. The superconducting sample TmBa2Cu3O6.94 also showed an attenuation peak near the critical temperature. In addition, a broad attenuation peak was observed at 140 K during warming and 160 K during cooling for the superconducting TmBa2Cu3O6.94 sample. The ultrasonic anomalies observed in the superconducting TmBa2Cu3O6.94 was explained in terms of oxygen content and oxygen orderings in the copper oxide chains and layers.
