Abstract

In order to develop new shape memory materials operated by temperature, magnetic field, electrical current and pressure, the shape memory effect of the high T_c YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y superconductor was studied at different preparation methods using thermal expansion on softening. The sintering YBa₂Cu₃O_7-y with 30 mass% Ag has a prominent shape memory effect.
