Abstract

The effect of uniaxial strain e on superconducting transition temperature Tc of thin YBa2Cu3O7 film is presented. The value of TC increases linearly with compressional strain with a slope of -275K/e. Under tensile strain, Tc initially decreases to a value ∼ 0.3K below the zero-strain value and then remains constant with additional strain. In compression, the logarithmic strain derivative of Tc, (1/Tc)(dTc/de), is -3 per unit strain which is slightly less than 4–6 per unit strain observed in conventional superconductors.
