Abstract
The internal friction of YBa2Cu3O7−δ is measured at 7.8, 40, and 144 kHz as a function of temperature (from 300 to 1100 K) and oxygen partial pressure. At 40 kHz a marked damping peak occurs at ∼800 K which is attributable to oxygen hopping in the basal plane. The oxygen diffusion coefficient calculated from the hopping relaxation time is in good agreement with other estimates yielding an activation enthalpy, hm=1.07±0.05 eV and D0=1.8×10−4 cm2/s. At a critical value of δ∼0.25 the diffusion coefficient begins to rise rapidly similar to the occurrence of a fast‐ion transition.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
