In the present study, a YBa2Cu3O7−y bulk superconductor added with 5~10 wt% Ag was fabricated employing Sm123 as a seed to produce a superconductive single crystal. Metallic silver was added to the single crystal of YBa2Cu3O7−y to remove defects such as cracks and pores. Electromagnetic properties of the bulk superconductor at 77 K were analyzed based on relationships of magnetic levitation, trapped magnetic force, and critical current density. The critical current density of the superconductor at 77 K and 0 T was 3.53 × 104 A/cm2. Discontinuous points in the distribution of magnetic field lines were not observed, implying that these two specimens grew well as a single crystal without specific weak links. For the growth of a superconductive nano crystal employing slow cooling at temperature of formation of 123 phase, superconductive nano crystals were aligned in a-b direction, the direction of peak current flow. The peak value of the trapped magnetic force of the YBa2Cu3O7−y superconductor specimen was 3.23 kG. Using the FC method, peak forces of attraction and repulsion were 21.696 N and 70.168 N, respectively.

The present study focuses on the preparation of good quality MgB2 superconductor in bulk, wire/tape forms and on the improvement of in-field critical current density [JC(H)]. MgB2 bulk superconductor was prepared by a simple Powder-In-Sealed-Tube (PIST) method and MgB2 wires and tapes were prepared by the Powder-In-Tube (PIT) method. A novel electrical self-heating method was introduced for the preparation of Fe sheathed MgB2 wires and tapes. Burned Rice Husk (BRH), an inexpensive natural material is found to be one of the best additives for enhancing the in-field critical current density of MgB2. By selecting suitable combinations of additives a significant enhancement of the critical current density by 1-2 orders of magnitude were achieved for fields > 5 T, at 5-15 K.

We report the property studies of a MgB2 superconductor with high critical current density. The MgB2 superconductor was readily fabricated through a direct high-pressure synthesis of the respective elements. The obtained high-density MgB2 undergoes a sharp superconducting transition at 39 K. The bulk critical current density (Jc) of the sample was calculated on the basis of Bean's critical state model, and rather high critical current densities over a wide temperature range were obtained in comparison with the ambient prepared samples. The results highlight that high-pressure sintering would be a promising way to produce and search for this kind of intermetallic boride and the related superconductors.
