The effect of LCMO addition in YBCO system to investigate changes in structure and transport properties is reported. Samples with addition of (La0.67Ca0.33MnO3)x (LCMO) (x=0.0-0.6) in YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO) superconducting system were prepared via solid state reaction. The effect of magneto resistive components on the superconducting properties of YBCO was investigated through X-Ray diffraction (XRD), resistance-temperature (R-T) measurement, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). XRD analysis showed the addition of LCMO (0.2 wt% - 0.6 wt%) formed four new phases. The crystal system still orthorhombic with space group Pmmm after addition 0.2 wt% and 0.4 wt% of LCMO but the crystal system was changed to tetragonal and space group P4/mmm when addition with 0.6 wt% of LCMO. The temperature dependent of electrical resistance showed the samples were metallic above the transition temperature even though after addition. TheTc(onset)superconducting transition temperature decreased from 84 K to 66 K while theTc (offset)decreased from 72°C to 54°C. This suppression was due to the magnetic behaviour of the LCMO. The average grain size decreased when addition with LCMO were increased.

The effect addition of manganites compound on the superconducting properties of YBCO was investigated through X-Ray diffraction (XRD), resistance-temperature (R-T) measurement, AC Susceptometer, and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). Samples with addition of (La0.67Ca0.33MnO3)x(LCMO) (x= 0.0, 0.8, 1.0) in YBa2Cu3O7-δ(YBCO) superconductor were prepared via solid state method. Addition of LCMO in YBCO superconductor changed the properties of samples. XRD analysis showed the addition of LCMO (0.8 wt% - 1.0 wt%) formed three new peaks of LCMO. The crystal structure is orthorhombic with space group Pmmm for pure Y123 but after addition 0.8 wt% and addition 1.0 wt% of LCMO the crystal structure was changed to tetragonal and space group P4/mmm. The temperature dependent of electrical resistance showed the samples were metallic above the transition temperature even though after addition. TheTc-onsuperconducting transition temperature decreased from 86 K to 84 K while theTc-offdecreased from 76 K to 70 K. Diamagnetic onset transition temperature,Tc-on(dia)decreased from 90.2 K to 89.8 K. This suppression was due to the magnetic behaviour of the LCMO addition. Morphology observation showed that the grain size and grains boundary are decreased while the porosity was increased as the addition of LCMOincreases.

Excimer Laser Ablation

ABSTRACTExcimer laser ablation with an in situ heat treatment was used to prepare high quality superconducting YBa2Cu3O7−x thin films on (100)-SrTiO3 and (100)-LaAlO3 substrates. A pulsed excimer laser (XeCl; 308 nm) was used to ablate a rotating, bulk YBa2Cu3O7−x target at a laser energy density of 2–3 J/cm2. Based on four-probe dc resistance measurements, the films exhibited superconducting transition temperatures (Tc, midpoint) of 88 and 87K with 2K (90–10%) transition widths for SrTiO3 and LaAlO3, respectively. Transport critical current densities (Jc) measured at 77K were 2 × 106 and 1 × 106 A/cm2 in zero field for SrTiO3 and LaAlO3, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed the films to be highly oriented, with the c-axis perpendicular to the substrate surface.

The composition dependence of superconductivity and crystal structure in La ( Ba 1−x Ca x)2 Cu 3 O 7−y system was determined by the resistivity measurements and X-ray diffraction analysis. The superconducting transition temperature is raised with the increase of Ca content till x=0.6, at which the zero resistance temperature of the sample is 81.5 K. In the meanwhile, the crystal structure of the sample changed from tetragonal (x=0) to orthorhombic structure (x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6). With further increase of Ca content, the superconductivity decrease for the sample of x=0.8 with mixed phases including the orthorhombic oxygen-deficient perovskite-like (ODP) structure and no superconducting transition is found at 4.2 K for the sample of x=1 without the ODP structure. A possible explanation of these experimental results is given.

Rare earth nano sized pollycrystalline orthoferrites and orthocromites ReT mO3 (Re = La, Nd, Gd, Dy, Y and T m = Fe, Cr) have been synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion citrate method. The samples have been characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and UV-visible spectroscopy. The samples are single phase as confirmed by XRD analysis and correspond to the orthorhombic crystal symmetry with space group pbnm. Debye Scherer formula and Williamson Hall analysis have been used to calculate the average grain size which is consistent with that of determined from SEM analysis and varied between 25-75 nm. The elemental compositions of all samples have been checked by EDX analysis. Different crystallographic parameters are calculated with strong structural correlation among Re and Tm sites. The optical energy band gap has been calculated by using Tauc relation estimated to be in the range of 1.77 - 1.87 eV and 2.77 - 3.14 eV, for ReFeO3 and ReCrO3, respectively.

The authors examined the thermal and electrical transport properties of Tl7Sb2 at temperatures ranging from room temperature to 400 K. The crystal system of Tl7Sb2 is cubic with the lattice parameter a = 1.16053 nm and the space group is Im3m. The polycrystalline samples were prepared by melting stoichiometric amounts of thallium and antimony. Although, usually the thermal conductivity of thallium compounds is very low (<1 Wm-1K-1), that of Tl7Sb2 was relatively high (~13 Wm-1K-1 at room temperature). This is because of the large electronic contribution to the thermal conductivity.

Effects of plasma oxidation on superconducting and normal properties were studied for rf-sputtered Y-Ba-Cu-O films. The plasma oxidation was performed in a mixture gas of Ar-50%O 2 both before and after annealing. The oxidation enhances superconducting transition temperature, T c , and improves metal-like behavior of normal resistance as well. Typical films obtained after the oxidation exhibited the transition with an onset at 94 K and with zero resistance below 82 K. The improvement was found to hold for more than 30 days after oxidation.
