ABSTRACTHigh-Tc superconducting Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu oxide with zero resistance temperature at above lOOK has been synthesized via the use of ethylenediamine-tetra-acetate(EDTA) colloid and corresponding metal nitrates. Remarkable sinterability of the precursor requires shorter time to achieve superconducting phases than conventional solid-state reactions. Superconducting properties were measured electrically and magnetically. The thermal decomposition, X-ray diffraction and microstructural characteristics of the precursor and the sintered samples were also discussed.

The effect of a small amount of Sb doping (5%) on the formation of the high temperature superconducting phase has been investigated on the Bi 1.5 Pb 0.5 Sr 2 Ca 2 Cu 3 O y compound. It is observed that at 860°C the T c zero [Formula: see text] value depends on the sintering time. It first increases to a maximum value of 96 K and then decreases to a stable lowest value of 88 K. The samples have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), four probe electrical resistance and current density measurements. The XRD revealed the presence of two phases: an orthorhombic high-T c 2223 phases with lattice constants a = 5.395 Å, b = 5.508 Å, c = 37.0422 Å and another tetragonal low-T c 2212 phase with lattice constants a = b = 5.419 Å, c = 30.832 Å.

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.

The introduction of more reactive precursors for Pb and Sr (oxalates), as well as Ca (citrate) and the use of a Bi nitrate decomposition route, has increased the percentage of the high-Tc (2223) phase in the Bi—Sr—Ca—Cu—O (BSCCO) system. Partial substitution of Bi(Pb) with Sb gives an almost single (2223) phase sample. In addition, a single (2212) phase sample is obtained when high purity Bi2O3 is used as a precursor, whereas Bi acetate leads to semiconducting behavior. The morphology of the samples is studied with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), the stoichiometry with energy-dispersive x-ray analysis (EDAX), and the structure with x-ray diffraction (XRD), while the superconducting properties are investigated by dc-resistivity, ac-susceptibility, and SQUID magnetometry techniques.

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.

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.

Perovskite compounds of the general formula, Ba2RESbO6 (where RE = Nd, Eu and Dy) were sintered as single phase materials by standard solid state techniques. These compounds are found to be isostructural and to have a complex perovskite structure as observed by powder X-ray diffraction measurement. No chemical reaction between YBa2Cu3O 7-δ and Ba2RESbO6 compounds, was observed even under severe heat treatment at 950°C, and the addition of Ba2RESbO6 up to 20 vol% in YBa2Cu3O 7-δ, shows no detrimental effect on the superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3O 7-δ. The dielectric constant and loss factor values of sintered specimens, are in a range suitable for their use as substrates for microwave applications. Thick films of YBCO fabricated on highly polished Ba2RESbO6 specimens, gave a superconducting zero resistance transition T c(o) of 92 K, with a critical current density, J c of 2×104 A/cm2 at 77 K.

ABSTRACTSuperconducting film of ternary copper oxides from the Y-Ba-Cu-O system has been prepared by screen printing on 96% A1203 substrate with onset temperature at 95K and zero resistance at 85K. X-ray diffraction patterns show that film will react with the A1203 substrate. With decreasing film thickness the superconductivity is destroyed and may become a semiconductor.

This paper reports the crystallization and superconducting properties of Bi 4 Sr 3 Ca 3 Cu 4 O x glass-ceramics. The glass was prepared using the conventional melt-quenching method. X-ray diffraction pattern has shown that the annealing at temperature of 800°C converted the glass into glass-ceramics with Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O x superconducting phase (2212-phase). The superconducing transition exhibits the change in the slope that is characteristic for two different superconducting phases. It is observed that T c (zero) increases from 20 K to 80 K with increasing time of annealing. The influence of magnetic field on the superconducting transition has been investigated. Our studies revealed a remarkable broadening of the resistive transition as a function of temperature with increasing field. The temperature width ( T c-T) of the transition for both phases increases with magnetic field according to Tinkham model.
