The internal friction (Q-1) spectrum of YBa2Cu3Ox superconducting ceramic exhibits several peaks. It has been confirmed that the high-temperature peak (around 240 K) depends on structural changes and varies during subsequent cycles of cooling and heating.Q-1 conductivity, X-ray spectra and the shielding effect have been measured on several samples having different superconducting properties obtained by various thermal treatments. Splitting is a characteristic feature of the high-temperature internal friction peak of the sample which exhibits good superconducting properties. In the case of the specimen exhibiting the worst properties the peaks decrease and overlap. In both cases an increase can be observed of this peak with the number of thermal cycles. After ageing at 470 K, the high-temperature peak disappears. Subsequent thermal cycles slightly recover it. Hysteresis of the Young modulus is also observed. The results are interpreted as transition of the 04 oxygen atom between two energy minima in the O4-Cu-O4 chain. |
