We synthesizedZnx/(Cu0.5Tl0.5)Ba2Ca3Cu4O12-δ  {Znx/CuTl-1234}(x= 0~3 wt.%)nanoparticles-superconductor composites by solid-state reaction technique and examined the effects of zinc (Zn) nanoparticles on structural and superconducting properties of CuTl-1234 phase. Unaltered crystal structure of host CuTl-1234 phase confirmed the existence of Zn nanoparticles at intercrystallite sites. We observed an improvement in grains size and intergrains connectivity by healing up the voids after incorporation of Zn nanoparticles in CuTl-1234 superconductor. Superconducting properties ofZnx/CuTl-1234 composites were suppressed for all Zn nanoparticles concentrations. Suppression of zero resistivity critical temperature{Tc(0)}and variation in normal state resistivity{ρ300 K (Ω-cm)}were attributed to reduction of superconducting volume fractions and enhanced scattering cross section of mobile carriers.

Polycrystalline samples of the Pr doped Yb 1-x Pr x Ba 2 Cu 3 O 7-δ (i.e. Yb(Pr)-123) system for 0≤x≤1 have been investigated for resistivity ρ and magnetization M as a function of temperature in normal and superconducting states. The gradual decrease in superconducting critical temperature T c (x) is found to be correlated with the x-dependent ratio of resistivity slope (dρ/dT) cc (corresponding to the linear ρ(T) region) and residual resistivity ρ0. In particular, the observed difference of critical Pr concentration where superconductivity is destroyed (x c ) in Yb(Pr)-123 (x c ≈ 0.65) and Y(Pr)-123 (x c ≈ 0.55) matches with the difference in the value of Pr concentration where the ratio (dρ/dT) cc /ρ0 tends to go to zero in them. The M(T) data of the Yb(Pr)-123 samples show magnetic ordering for x > x c at characteristic temperatures, Tn, that increase with x. Interestingly, the Yb(Pr)-123 sample with Pr content (x = 0.6) near x c reveals several anomalous features like transition from metallic to semiconducting-like ρ(T), an excessive broadening of the diamagnetic transition and weakening of the M(T) signal related to antiferromagnetic ordering of Pr ions. These observations can be consistently interpreted by assuming the presence of dynamically fluctuating striped phase in these systems.

The Tl2-xTexBa2CaCu2O8-δ (Tl-2212) high temperature superconductors with x = 0.0-0.5 have been prepared by the standard solid-state reaction method. The precursor powder were sintered at 900°C for 24 h with several grindings and heating. The powder were then pressed into pellets and heated at 910°C in oxygen flow for 4 min followed by furnace cooling. The electrical resistance versus temperature dependence measurements showed metallic normal state behavior for all samples. Substitution of Te at the Tl-site led to multi-phasic samples. The x = 0.4 sample showed the highestTc zero= 98 K and Tconset= 111K. The Tl-2212 phase increased from 50% for x=0 up to 92% in the x= 0.4 sample.

Samples with compositions Bi 1.8 Pb 0.2 Sr 2( Ca 2−x Na x) Cu 3 O y, BiSr(Ca 1−x Cd x) Cu 2 O y and BiSr ( Ca 1−x Bi x) Cu 2 O y were prepared through solid state reaction. The X-ray diffraction results were analyzed and their resistivity behavior was studied. In general, all such substitution adversely affected their superconductive properties. All samples are of multiphase. The normal state resistivity behaves quite differently with the substitution of electropositive Na as compared with the replacement of electronegative Bi.

Pure and doped barium titanate with Mg2+ ion at two molar ratios x= (5%, 10%) mol. has been synthesized by solid state reaction technique. The powders sintered at two temperatures (1000 °C and 1400 °C). An XRD technique was used in order to study the crystal structure of pure and doped barium titanate, which confirmed the formation of the tetragonal phase of BaTiO3, and then calculate the lattice parameters of pure and doped barium titanate, the addition of magnesium ion Mg2+ can lead to decreases lattice parameters.

Solid solutions of Bi 2 Sr 2 Ca 1−x Pr x Cu 2 O y (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) have been synthesized. The crystal structure and superconducting properties of the samples were examined by XRD and dc electrical resistivity measurements. Linear increase in normal state resistivity is observed with increasing Pr-content (x) for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.55. Decrease in T c is observed with increasing x and metal–insulator transition is observed around x = 0.55. Although increase in normal state resistivity leads to decrease in T c value, we do not find any definite correlation between these parameters. The conduction mechanism in the semi-conducting sample is found to be Variable Range Hopping. From the decrease of c lattice parameter the possibility of existence of Pr ions in +4 state besides +3 state is inferred.

We have synthesized Ru1Sr2Gd2-xCexCu2O10 (Ru-1222) materials using several concentrations of Ce. All ruthenocuprate compounds have been characterised by using standard X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Micrographs (SEM). The concentration of Ce affects transport properties drastically. Compounds with x=0.5 remain nonsuperconducting with moderate resistivity even after annealing in different conditions. Enormous change in the normal state resistivity has been observed in different annealing conditions of Ru-1222 with x=0.5. Superconducting properties have been observed in compounds with x=0.65. The highest critical temperature obtained is 27.5K for x=0.65. In addition, the duration of annealing in flowing oxygen is found to be effective in changing the normal state resistivity for x=0.65.
