Abstrakt: Experimental studies were carried out for structural and elastic properties of cobaltites YBaCo4O7+x (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) obtained by various technologies and distinguished by oxygen content. Correlation was revealed between the structure distortion at room temperature and a hysteresis in a ΔE(T)/T0 curve in the temperature range 80 - 280 K, as well as the anomaly value in the region of TN. It was found, that small deviations from stoichiometry (x = 0.1, 0.2) result in suppression of structural transition, reduce a hysteresis, quickly smooth out and reduce anomalies of the Young's modulus ΔE(T)/T0 in the range of magnetic phase transition. This behavior indicates that structural and magnetic transitions are suppressed in nonstoichiometric samples and only short range correlations of order parameters are retained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
