Abstract

The longitudinal (Vl) and shear (Vs) wave velocities of Praseodymium substituted YB 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ high temperature superconductors were determined at room temperature by the pulse transmission technique. The values of Young's (E), rigidity (n) and bulk (k) moduli have been corrected to zero porosity. The zero porous corrected values of the elastic moduli are found to increase with increasing Praseodymium concentration. A linear relationship between the Debye temperature (θD) and average sound velocity (Vm) has also been observed and the behavior is explained qualitatively.
