Sintering Time

The effects of sintering time in high and low density Bi-2223 phase formation have been investigated. The samples were prepared by the solid-state reaction method at various sintering times ranging from 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. Sucrose was added during palletization and after heated at 400°C for two hours the sucrose was removed and hence low density sample was created. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and critical current density. The transition temperature varies between 102 K and 96 K with increasing of sintering times. The optimal sintering time of the samples Bi-2223 system was found at 850°C for 72 hours. The critical current density,JCof high density and low density Bi-2223 was measured to be 7.547 A/cm2and 8.333 A/cm2respectively at 77 K under zero magnetic field. The critical current density,JCand superconductivity transition temperature,TCof low density were found to be higher than the pure samples. The critical transition temperature increased with a short gap betweenTConsetandTC zero. The most intense peak in the XRD pattern of sample at sintering time 72 hours belong to the high-TCphase which also indicates an increase in the volume fraction of the high-TCphase with optimum sintering time.

The effect of nanosized Bi2O3 (150 nm) on the formation of the Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 (Tl-2212) phase, transition temperature and transport critical current density has been studied. Samples with nominal starting composition Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8(Bi2O3)x (x = 0 to 0.5 wt. %) were prepared using the solid state reaction method. Most samples except x = 0.5 showed a mixed phase consisting of the Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 and Tl2Ba2Ca2Cu3O10 (Tl-2223). The x = 0.5 sample showed a single Tl-2212 phase. However, the transition temperature, Tc of the x = 0.5 was very much suppressed (Tonset = 106 K, Tc zero 88 K). All samples showed random grain size and orientation, with partial melting and high porosity. The x = 0.1 mixed phase sample showed the highest transport critical current density of 285 mA/cm2 at liquid nitrogen temperature (78 K).

The sample with nominal composition of Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2-xEuxCu3Oy where x = 0.000, 0.0025, 0.020, 0.050 and 0.100 were synthesized through solid state reaction method. The effect of Eu2O3 nanoparticles doping on the superconducting and structural properties were studied by means of critical temperature, TC, critical current density, JC, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). The amount of 2223 phase gradually decreased with the increment of Eu concentration which indicates that Eu nanoparticles substitution at Ca site favours the growth of 2212 phases. The sample with higher porosity was found to be decreased in critical temperature, TC as well as critical current density, JC due to the lack of effective surface area for current flowing. The best superconducting properties were observed at x = 0.0025 substitutes into Ca site for Bi (Pb)-2223 host sample.

The effect of Y2O3 nanoparticle addition on the superconducting properties of Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr 2CaCu 2Oy have been investigated. The samples were prepared using high purity oxide powders via solid state reaction method. Y2O3 nanoparticle with 0.0-1.0 wt. % was systematically added to the well balanced Bi1.6Pb0.4 Sr2CaCu2Oy before sinter in order to trace the existense of nanoparticle addition in the system. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and critical current density, Jc. The current density measurement was done via four-point probe method under zero magnetic fields. The critical current density, Jc and superconductivity transition temperature, Tc for sample with addition of Y2O3 nanoparticle were found to be higher than the pure sample. The optimal addition of Y2O3 nanoparticle to the sample Bi-2212 system was found at 0.7 wt. %. The crystallographic structure of all samples was evidenced to be orthorhombic where a ≠ b ≠ c. Changes in superconducting properties of Y2O3 nanoparticle added Bi-2212 system were discussed.

The effect of nanosized nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) addition on (Tl0.85Cr0.15)Sr2CaCu2O7-δ superconductors has been investigated. (Tl0.85Cr0.15)Sr2CaCu2O7-δ high temperature superconductors was prepared via solid-state reaction method using high purity oxide powders. Nanosized NiFe2O4 was added to the compound at composition x = 0 - 0.003 wt.%. Samples were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction method (XRD), electrical resistance versus temperature, transport critical current density Jc and AC susceptibility measurements. SEM micrographs showed close-packed microstructure with low porosity. XRD patterns showed a dominant phase of Tl-1212 with a minor phase of Tl-1201 for all samples. All of the samples displayed metallic normal state behavior before the onset transition temperature (Tc-onset) which was between 102 and 104 K. The transition temperature (Tcχ’) from AC susceptibility measurement also showed the similar results between 101 and 103 K. Tc-zero was slightly suppressed with the addition of nanosized NiFe2O4. The peak temperature Tp from the imaginary part of the susceptibility χ” was found between 77 - 91 K for all samples. The highest transport critical current density (Jc) at 77 K was shown by sample x = 0.001 wt.% at 2213 mAcm-2. Nanosized NiFe2O4 has significantly enhanced the Jc of (Tl0.85Cr0.15)Sr2CaCu2O7-δ superconductor.

The effect of different nanosized Co3O4(10, 30, and 50 nm) addition on the Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10(Co3O4)xsuperconductor withx=0–0.05 wt.% has been investigated using X-ray diffraction method, scanning electron microscopy, transition temperature, and critical current densityJcmeasurements. The samples were prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction method. Samples withx=0.01 wt.% Co3O4(10 nm) showed the highestTc-zeroat 102 K. The highestJcwas observed in thex=0.03 wt.% Co3O4(10 nm) andx=0.02 wt.% Co3O4(30 nm) samples. At 77 K,Jcof the 10 nm and 30 nm Co3O4added samples was 6 and 13 times larger than the nonadded samples, respectively. Small addition of Co3O4nanoparticles in the Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10(Bi-2223) samples enhanced the critical current density and the phase formation. The larger Co3O4nanoparticle (50 nm) had a greater degradation affect on superconductivity of the Bi-2223 phase.

We have investigated epitaxial superconducting SmBa2Cu3O7 (Sm123) films grown by pulsed-laser deposition on single-crystal SrTiO3 substrates. The deposition temperature plays an important role in determining the superconducting properties of Sm123 films. The superconducting transition temperature increases with the deposition temperature whereas the transition width decreases at deposition temperatures in the range of 700–875 °C. A Sm123 film deposited at 850 °C exhibits a transition temperature above 93 K with a transition width less than 0.5 K. Even though Sm123 films exhibit a higher transition temperature than Yba2Cu3O7 (Y123), the Sm123 shows lower critical current density at liquid-nitrogen temperature. The nominal critical current density of Sm123 film is less than 1 MA/cm2 at 75.4 K. Nevertheless, the Sm123 films have less anisotropy and stronger pinning characteristics compared to Y123. They are also much smoother with fewer particulates, as revealed by scanning electron microscopy.

Effect of complex magnetic oxide Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 (CNFO) nanoparticles addition in (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) superconductor tapes was investigated. Ultrafine Bi-2223 powder precursor was prepared via co-precipitation method and was added with 0.01 – 0.05 wt.% Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles during the final heating stage. The sample with 0.01 wt.% addition, Bi-2223(CNFO)0.01 was found to have the highest critical current density, Jc. This sample were then chosen to be fabricated into Ag-sheathed superconductor tapes using the powder-in-tube (PIT) method. The tapes were sintered for 50 and 100 h at 845 °C. The phase, microstructure and Jc of the samples were determined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and four point probe, respectively. Jc of Ag-sheathed Bi-2223(CNFO)0.01 tapes sintered for 100 h was 19830 A/cm2 at 30 K and 3970 A/cm2 at 77 K compared to tapes without addition which showed a much lower Jc(6370 A/cm2 at 30 K). This study showed that CNFO nanoparticles could act as an effective flux pinning centers to enhance the critical current density in the Bi-2223 superconductor.
