β¦ Synopsis
Finite deformation theory is used to obtain the strain energy density / of a tetragonal 2-1-4-type single crystal of the high-temperature superconductor La 2Γx Sr x CuO 4 . The complete set of second and third-order elastic constants of the high-temperature superconductor La 2Γx Sr x CuO 4 (x = 0.16) is calculated by taking into account the interactions between nine nearest-neighbour atoms in the lattice and using Mie-Gru Β¨neisen interatomic potential. For the sake of comparison we have also computed the values of these constants for x = 0.13-0.20. The values of third-order elastic constants of La 2Γx Sr x CuO 4 (x = 0.13-0.20) are negative and their absolute magnitudes are one order higher than those of the second-order elastic constants.

Investigation on a high-To superconductor, Lal.ssSro.15CuO4, was performed in the wide range of Q E space by means of neutron scattering and synchrotron radiation. The structure as well as the phonon dynamics showed a clear evolution at To. We found a spontaneous strain and phonon softening, which p
