The first measurements of the effect of uniaxial strain on the critical current of a Chevrel phase superconductor, PbMo/sub 6/S/sub 8/, have been obtained at 4.2 K in magnetic fields from 2 T to 24 T. The data show there is a very significant reversible effect of elastic strain on the critical current of PbMo/sub 6/S/sub 8/, comparable in magnitude to that observed in Nb/sub 3/Sn. This is because both the peak pinning force and upper critical field are very sensitive to elastic strain. A correlation is noted between the elastic strain effect, radiation sensitivity, and crystal phase.
