We have experimentally studied the structural and elastic characteristics of rare-earth cobaltites RBaCo{sub 4–x}M{sub x}O{sub 7} (R = Dy–Er, Yb, Y), in which cobalt ions are partly substituted by diamagnetic Al or Zn ions. It was found that small substitution of Co{sup 3+} ions by Al{sup 3+} ions in the YbRBaCo{sub 4–x}M{sub x}O{sub 7} system (x = 0.1, 0.2, 0.5) leads to a rapid decrease and smearing of ΔE(T)/E{sub 0} anomalies of the Young’s modulus in the region of the structural phase transition, which is accompanied by increasing hysteresis. Pure rare-earth cobaltites RBaCo{sub 4}O{sub 7} (R = Dy–Er, Y) exhibit a correlation between the room-temperature structure distortion and hysteresis on the ΔE(T)/E{sub 0} curve in a temperature interval of 80–280 K. In Zn-substituted cobaltites RBaCoZn{sub 3}O{sub 7}, both the hysteresis and ΔE(T)/E{sub 0} anomalies disappear, as do low-temperature sound absorption maxima. This behavior is evidence of the suppression of structural and magnetic phase transitions and the retention of only short-range correlations of the order parameter in Zn-substituted samples.
