Abstract

Using several measured and calculated physical properties, we argue that the high-Tc metal-oxide superconductor Y1Ba2Cu3O7 is elastically soft compared with BaTiO3 or SrTiO3. We conclude that the bulk modulus equals approximately 107 GPa, despite several high-pressure x-ray diffraction studies that report values up to approximately 200 GPa. Part of the argument uses an ionic-crystal-model calculation of the bulk modulus.
