Calculated Changes in the Elastic Properties of MgCNi3 at the Superconducting Transition

We calculated the elastic properties of MgCNi3 at the superconducting transition () using various thermodynamic and acoustic data. From the calculations, a step discontinuity of 8 ppm in the bulk modulus, 7 ppm in the Young’s modulus, and 3 ppm in the longitudinal sound velocity () is expected at ....
