Abstract High-temperature superconductors with a nominal composition Bi2- xZrxPb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy for (0≤x≤0.3) were prepared by solid-state reaction method. Effects of the Zr nanoparticles substitution at Bi sites have been studied to obtain the optimum concentration for the formation and stabilization of the superconducting samples. Electrical resistivity measurements of the samples showed that the higher critical temperature TC was found at 118 K, which is for the composition Bi1.95Zr0.05Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy. Semiconductor behavior noticed for samples with concentration higher than 0.2. The X-ray diffraction results for all superconducting samples showed an orthorhombic structure with two phases, 2223 high-TC phase and 2212 low-TC phase. The scanning electron microscope has been used to identify the morphology of the superconducting phase. The plate-like grains of the high Bi-2223 phase appeared in most samples besides changes in morphology of the samples with increasing dopant concentration

High temperature superconductor with nominal composition Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr1.8Ba0.2Ca2 Cu3O10+? was prepared by solid state reaction method. Two sets of samples have been prepared .The first one was quenched in air; the second set was quenched in liquid nitrogen. X-ray diffraction analyses showed an orthorhombic structure with two phases, high –Tc phase (2223) and low-Tc phase (2212) in addition to that impure phase was found. It has been observed that quenched in air samples display a sharp superconducting transition and a higher-Tc phase than that of the quenched in liquid nitrogen samples.

Bi x Sr 1 Ca 1 Cu y O z(x, y=1, 2 or 3) high Tc superconductors were synthesized by solid state reaction method. There are two superconducting phases in Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system: 110 K phase and 80 K phase. The relative portion of the two phases and the state of superconducting connection are closely related to chemical compositions and the conditions of processing. X-ray powder diffraction shows that there exists a main phase with orthorhombic symmetry in the samples of different compositions and conditions of processing. According to X-ray diffraction data, the lattice constants of the main phase in the sample of nominal composition Bi 1 Sr 1 Ca 1 Cu 2 O z have been determined as aο=5.44Å, bο=5.35Å and co=30.66Å. Electron diffraction shows complicated modulation structure along b− and c− axes. High resolution image along [001] zone axis indicates the modulation structure along b− axis.

The conventional solid-state reaction method was utilized to prepare a series of superconducting samples of the nominal composition Bi2-xPb0.3WxSr2Ca2Cu3O10+d with 0≤x≤0.5 of 50 nm particle size of tungsten sintered at 8500C for 140h in air . The influence of substitution with W NPs at bismuth (Bi) sites was characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dc electrical resistivity. Room temperature X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that there exists two phases, i.e. Bi-(2223) and Bi-(2212), in addition to the impurity phases of (SrCa) 2Cu2O3, Sr2Ca2Cu7Oδ, Ca2PbO4, CaO, and WO. It was found that the crystallographic structure of all samples was orthorhombic. Lattice parameter values and the volume fraction of the (2223)-phase of the prepared samples were also calculated. The superconductivity transition temperature (Tc) for samples subjected to substitution with W NPs was found to be higher than that for the pure sample. The optimal value of W NPs content in (Bi, Pb)-2223 system was found to be at x=0.3.

       In this paper, investigations were carried out on the effects of simultaneous partial substitution of Tl at the Hg site on the physical properties of an Hg1-xTlxBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ cuprate superconductor with x= 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4. Two steps of the solid state reaction method were used to prepare samples in capsule. The results showed that the optimum sintering temperature was equal to 850 ᵒC and the sintering time was equal to 20 h for the prepared samples.       The best conditions for constitution and stabilization of the high Tc phase-1223 were obtained by investigating the effects of Tl substitution on Hg site and oxygen content (δ) on the superconducting properties.          Structural investigation revealed that all the samples have a tetragonal structure with two phases, namely an Hg-1223 high Tc phase as a main phase and an Hg-1212 low Tc phase. Besides, some impurity phases like CuO and CaHgO2 were found. The increase of Tl content in Hg1-xTlxBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ compound from 0 to 0.4 caused a change in the lattice parameter, density of the unit cell (ρm), and c/a values.         HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ compound exhibited a critical transition temperature that is equal to 115 K. On the other side, the results showed that the highest Tc was 119 K for Hg0.8Tl0.2 Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+δ. The oxygen content (δ= 0.46) was expected to be the optimum hole doping for Hg0.8Tl0.2 Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+δ compound, which  means in our opinion that  δ plays a remarkable role in the assessment of Tc.

Bi1.7-Pb0.3-Sr2-Ca2-Cu3-Ox superconducting samples were prepared at 855°C, 862 C, 870 C, and 882 C sintering temperatures respectively. All samples were sintered for 120 hours. The samples were then quenched in liquid nitrogen. The electrical resistivity measurements showed that the samples sintered at 870° C had the best Tc. For these samples the Tc onset was around 120 K and the zero resistance was obtained at 108 K. X-ray diffraction studies showed that the samples were multiphased.

A series of colossal magneto resistance materials having compositional formula Re 0.67 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 (Re = Nd, Gd, … etc.) were prepared by the sol-gel method, using Ethylene glycol as a gelating reagent. The materials were characterized by the powder X-ray diffraction technique and are found to be single phase with orthorhombic structure. The particle size of all the materials were calculated using the well known Shearer formula and are found to be in the range of 20–45 nm. In order to determine the transition temperature (T c ), the DC electrical resistivity measurements were also carried out over a temperature range 80–300 K using the four probe method and it has been observed that the T c values are found to increase with increasing ionic size. Finally the magneto resistance measurements were also undertaken in the temperature range 80–300 K and it has been found that the MR values of these materials are better when compared with those prepared by the solid state reaction method.

In an effort to synthesize the high-T c superconducting phase in the thallium system, two nominal compositions, Tl 2 Ca 2 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 10 and Tl 1 Ca 3 Ba 1 Cu 3 O 8.5, have been investigated for superconductivity as a function of the sintering temperature, time, atmosphere, and quench rate. Samples have been characterized by electrical resistivity measurements, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. Samples of starting composition Tl 2 Ca 2 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 10 fired in air at 860–900°C and rapidly quenched showed T c (R = 0) of 96–107 K. In contrast, specimens of starting composition Tl 1 Ca 0 Ba 1 Cu 3 O 8.5 when baked at 900°C and slow cooled in oxygen were superconducting at ≥ 116 K and consisted of Tl 2 Ca 2 Ba 2 Cu 3 O 10+x as the dominant phase. Our results also show that, in contrast to the case of YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7−x, doping with a small concentration of fluorine sharpens the resistive transition and produces large T c increase in thallium-based superconductors.

ABSTRACTThe exothermic, solid state reaction of Al and Zr has been studied in thick AL/Zr multilayers using Differential Scanning Calorimetry and X-ray diffraction. The multilayersamples were magnetron sputter deposited into highly textured alternate layers of Al and Zr with nominal composition A13Zr. The samples used in this study were 47μm thick with a 427Å period. When samples were isochronally scanned from 25º to 725ºC, a large exotherm at ˜350ºC was followed by one or two smaller exotherms at ˜650ºC. The first exotherm is dominated by a diffusionbased reaction of Al and Zr that produces two phases in isochronal scans: amorphous AI-Zrand cubic A13Zr, and two additional phases in isothermal anneals: A12Zr and tetragonal AI3Zr. The exothermic heat from this multi-phase reaction is measured using isochronal scans and isothermal anneals, and the heat flow is analyzed using a l-D diffusion based model. An average activation energy and a diffusion constant are determined. In the isothermal scans, the total exothermic heat increases linearly with √ime, and layer thicknesses vary linearly with heat.

AbstractThe effect of oxygen partial pressure on stability of high-Tc phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system has been investigated using x-ray diffraction, resistivity and a.c. susceptibility measurements. It was found that part of the high-Tc phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system was transformed into the low-Tc phase (80 K) and insulating phases by heating in the temperature range 600 C to 880°C in O2 of one atmosphere. The original high-Tc phase was restored upon retreatment in a low oxygen partial pressure of 0.1 atmosphere. The reversible superconducting phase transformation is discussed in conjunction with the formation mechanism of the high-Tc phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system.
