The intergranular properties of ( Y 1-x-y Zr x Ca y) Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ ceramics were studies by using temperature-dependent ac susceptibility measurements at zero dc magnetic field. The intergranular critical current density was determined from ac susceptibility data by varying the field amplitude H ac . From the imaginary part of the complex susceptibility, χ″(T), we have determined the temperature dependence of the critical current density by using the Bean's model. The ac field dependencies of the intergrain χ″-peak temperatures T p are linear and agree with Müller critical state model. The results were analyzed in terms of superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS)-and superconductor-normal-superconductor (SNS)-type models for granular superconductors.

ABSTRACTAs Bednorz and Muller noted in their original publication reporting on the discovery of high temperature superconductivity, their oxides present many of the features of granular superconductors. This behavior was first primarily ascribed to poor connectivity of the grains in the bulk ceramic samples. but later studies have pointed out to more fundamental reasons for these similarities. We will discuss them after first reviewing the well established properties of low Tc granular superconductors.

A device for measuring high-TC superconducting transition temperature in a small cryocooler is described which allows a samples temperature to fall steadily from room temperature to 45K. This cryocooler not only meets the high-TC superconductors measurement requirements, but also yields accurate measurement results under ambient conditions. In this device, two measurement methods for measuring high-TC superconducting transition temperature are applied: the electric transport and the AC susceptibility. The former adopts a four-wire method to eliminate the contact resistance between the leads and the sample. During the measurement process the current reversal method for datum processing is applied to eliminate the thermoelectric voltages; this ensures the repeatability error less than 0.4K in the measurement of the superconducting transition temperature. The AC susceptibility method adopts a lock-in amplifier to provide an AC voltage signal for the primary coil, and then lock-in amplifier is used to measure the electrical signals of the secondary coil according to the AC magnetic susceptibility values. The advantage of this device is that by merely changing the position of the sample in the vacuum chamber, the R-T curve and the χ-T curve of a superconducting sample in the same temperature range can be automatically recorded, which provides reliable data for high-TC superconductor transition curve measurement.

AbstractWe have studied the variation of dissipative effects with doping in the high Tc superconductors La2-xSrxCuO4-y and YBa2Cu3O7-y by studying the lossy component of ac susceptibility as a function of temperature. We find relatively strong excess losses at low temperature in both systems, which indicate stronger flux creep at grain boundaries, in lower level doped ceramic samples produced by a similar process. This effect is more significant in the La2-xSrxCuO4-y (214) system than in the YBa2Cu3O7-y(123) system. We suggest that the microscopic mechanisms of weakening of the order parameter in the grain boundaries may be different in the two systems. In the 214 system, as the charge carrier density in the CuO2 planes is reduced, the spatial fluctuation of the order parameter in the CuO2 planes is enhanced. In the 123 system, the initial removal of O from the sample, which weakens the coupling between planes and increases the spatial fluctuation of the order parameter between CuO2 planes. The grain boundaries are degraded in both systems. The degradation in the 214 samples is more significant than in the 123 samples.
