JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSMeasurements of superconducting transition in terms of complex susceptibility have been well known as one of the useful methods for studying the superconducting properties of materials. By applying this method to oxide superconductors, we have found that sintered specimens consist of the bulk superconducting phase and the weak-link coupling phase. Typical experimental results observed for some kinds of oxide superconductors as well as those of thin film single crystals are presented.View full abstractDownload PDF (724K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe galvanomagnetic effect has been studied for the ceramic superconductor Y1Ba2Cu3Ox film prepared by the spray pyrolysis method. The hysteresis behavior of the magnetoresistance and the large fluctuation of the output voltage are observed when the applied magnetic field is perpendicular to the surface of the film. However, the hysteresis disappears and the voltage fluctuation is suppressed under the applied magnetic field being parallel to the film surface. These experimental results lead to the realization of the low-noise magnetoresistor without the hysteresis property.View full abstractDownload PDF (482K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe oxide superconducting ceramic Ba2YCu3O7 is sensitive to environmental degradation. The significant deterioration seen for specimens annealed in air may be attributed to the combined effect of H2O and CO2. It has been found that this degradation could be lessened by the densification of bulk superconductor prepared from co-precipitated oxalate powder. We also investigated the effect of processing and microstructual control on the critical current density of Ba2YCu3O7. Materials sintered from co-precipitated powders showed sintered densities up to 98.5% of theoretical value and were composed of a large number of plate-like grains ( 20-100μm long, 5-10μm thick ).The critical current density of highly dense samples at 77K under zero magnetic field remained at 350 Acm-2 probably due to the presence of micro-cracks. Jc of the lower density sample ( 90% ) was larger than that of the high density sample. This might be due to a decrease in a large number of micro-cracks.View full abstractDownload PDF (8732K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe influence of the addition of K2O-WO3 glasses, the amount of which ranged from 0 to 20wt%, on the microstructure and superconducting properties in YBa2Cu3O7-x ceramics has been investigated. It has been found that the resistivity in the normal conducting state of the materials increased and the superconducting transition temperature decreased with the amount of the glass added. This may be interpreted in terms of the microstructural change of the materials which can be characterized by the segregation of the Cu element resulting from the addition of the glass materials.View full abstractDownload PDF (3080K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe effects of pore structure on the superconducting properties of dense YBa2Cu3Ox ceramics were investigated. The dense samples, 6.20 g/cm3, with many of small pores were prepared using a high calcining temperature (940°C), a planetary milling for a long time (24h) and ordinary sintering at low temperature (900°C) for 60h. The dense samples with the small pores showed larger pore-surface than the porous samples with large pores. Therefore, the dense sample facilitated the diffusion of oxygen within the material during the sintered processing, and it has become the orthorhombic structure. The resistivity and the critical current density of the dense samples increased about twice of that of the normal density samples.View full abstractDownload PDF (3118K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe orientation of YBa2Cu3O7-x thin films grown on (110) planes of SrTiO3 by activated reactive evaporation was investigated by means of reflection high energy electron diffraction. The orientation of the films depended on the substrate temperature. The films with the (110) plane parallel to the substrate surface grew in the narrow range of substrate temperatures around 530°C, while the films with the (103) plane parallel to the surface grew at the temperatures above 600°C. The change of the epitaxial orientation with the substrate temperature was discussed refering the temperature dependence of the lattice mismatch between YBa2Cu3O7-x and SrTiO3.View full abstractDownload PDF (2453K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSBa2YCu3Ox was prepared by the vacuum calcination and subsequent oxidation of Ba2YCu3Ox prepared by a conventional ceramic method. Surface state of this sample was examined by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. During the vacuum calcination up to 1200 K. two temperature maxima in the deoxidation rate were observed at around 670 K and 1170 K. First peak was correspond to the orthorhombic to tetragonal phase transition in Ba2YCu3Ox and second peak came from the reduction of Cu2+ to Cu1+ accompanied by the decomposition of Ba2YCu3Ox. This sample was easely oxidized in oxygen atmosphere at around 1173 K. After the vacuum calcination and subsequent oxidation, the surface condensation of Ba and Y usually observed in Ba2YCu3Ox prepared by the conventional ceramic method was eliminated. This came from the evolution of CO2 from carbonate ion remained at the surface layer of Ba2YCu3Ox occurred during the vacuum calcination.View full abstractDownload PDF (589K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe phase change of the non-superconducting tetragonal- I ' phase(YBa2Cu3O6.76) by annealing in oxygen atmosphere was studied.Tetragonal-III(YBa2Cu3O7.06) and Orthorhombic-III(YBa2Cu3O7.11) are formed under the annealing conditions:(1)900°C×2hr+400°C×10hr and (2)400°C×100hr, respectively.Examination with a high resolution electron microscope revealed that T- I ' has homogeneous tetragonal structure without any microdomain structure. However T-III has partial inhomogeneity which is caused by microdomain structure or twinning. O-III has homogeneous orthrhombic structure with slightly different a and b axes. T-III and O-III show the superconducting transition at 92K and 60K, respectively as obtained by magnetic susceptibility measurements. The set of results supports the importance of ordering of oxygen in the Cu(1)-O chain site for the occurrence of the high temperature superconductivity in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system.View full abstractDownload PDF (918K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe compound YBa2(Cu1-xFex)3Oy with the orthorhombic structure was successfully prepared in the wide composition range (0≤x<0.15) by a new preparation method, and the superconducting properties were examined. This orthorhombic phase shows the superconducting transition near 90K even for x=0.12 and shows the orthorhombic-to-tetragonal phase transition on heating. The stabilization of the orthorhombic phase seems to be due to the arrangement of Fe ions in the Cu1-O planes.View full abstractDownload PDF (625K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSYBa2(Cu1-xFex)3Oy with the orthorhombic structure was prepared in the wide composition range (0≤x<0.15) by heating in pure N2 gas followed by annealing in O2 gas below 400°C. The stabilization of the orthorhombic phase was discussed in terms of the arrangement of Fe ions in the Cu1-O planes. 57Fe Mossbauer measurements were performed on the five samples of YBa2(Cu0.96Fe0.04)3Oy which were prepared by the different thermal treatments. As the results, Fe ions occupy both Cu1 and Cu2 sites and the substitution of Fe ions for Cu ions in the Cu2 sites is little affected on the superconducting properties of YBa2Cu3Oy.View full abstractDownload PDF (709K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSTo realize the application of the High Tc superconductor, there are several things to keep in mind. One is the application of electric power systems. There are many attempts being made from many sides in anticipation of this wiring. For example one way is to pack the High Tc superconductor with Ag, Cu or stainless steel pipe with thin line processing. But as this High Tc superconductor is hard and fragile so to wire it is difficult. When "Ag" is added, processing and the superconductor characteristic is improved. Discussed in this report was the effect of "Ag" added to YBa2Cu3Oy superconductor and its electric properties.View full abstractDownload PDF (2487K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSHigh-temperature X-ray measurements were carreid out in the Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system to investigate the partially melting states in which the high Tc phase (37 A phase) is produced by heat treatment. Two samples with 2212 and 4336 compositions were examined as the representatives of non-forming and forming the 37 A phase by heat treatment. respectively. The inconguruent melting was found to take place in both samples to give new crystalline phases coexisting with liquid phases. It was noted that the new crystalline phases of the two samples were different from each other. It is thus suggested that the crystalline phase of the 4336 sample reacts with the liquid and the 30 A phases in the partially melting state to produce the 37 A phase. In the cooling process. the 30 A phase was crystallized at the solidifying temperature and then the 24 A phase appeared at the lower temperature for both of the compositions.View full abstractDownload PDF (441K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe high temperature behavior of BiSrCaCu2 Oy was investigated by electrical resistivity measurement in relation to superconducting properties. A hysteresis was found between on heating and cooling processes in the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity. The hysteresis occurred at about 550-700°C for the samples with high content of low Tc phase (80 K), while the hysteresis occurred at higher temperature(700-800 °C) for the samples with higher content of high Tc phase(105 K). These results suggest that the hysteresis in the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity may be related to the difference in the concentration ratio of high Tc phase to low Tc phase. Further detailed research is in progress.View full abstractDownload PDF (391K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSIn order to get a single high-Tc phase in the simple Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system without any other element, two kinds of powders: one named A obtained by pulverizing of the mixed powder aggregate fired at 850°C for 24h and the other named B obtained by oxalate coprecipitation method, were used in this experiment, and the effect of sintering time and temperature on the superconductivity have been studied.
Whereas most of the specimens sintered at 860-880°C for 24h or 288h showed a two step resistivity transition (at about 110K and at about 80K), one specimen using A powder sintered at 877°C for 288h showed a sharp single resistivity transition at about 110K and zero resistance at about 100K.

The observed values of both the suspension position and the force exerted upon the superconductor specimen were in good agreement with those calculated from the magnetization curve of the specimen and the intensity of the magnetic field of the used permanent magnet. Obtained results indicate that the origin of suspension effect in the present case is mainly due to Meissner effect, and a little different from the pinning force reported so far.View full abstractDownload PDF (696K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSSubstitution of Cd for Ca in Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy has been studied by using rapid quenching after rapid melting technique. Amorphous materials containing a small amount of CaO phase were obtained as films with about 20 μm thickness. Annealing of the films for Bi2Sr2Ca2-xCdxOy at 870°C for 5 hr in air yielded a superconducting phase with co= 3.0 nm in the composition of x≤0.5. Tc(endpoint) increased and tailing of transition disappeared with increasing Cd contents. A maximum Tc(endpoint) value of 87 K was obtained at the composition of x=0.4. Further substitution of Cd for Ca brought about lowering in Tc, because a semiconducting phase with co = 2.5 nm was formed instead of co = 3.0 nm phase.View full abstractDownload PDF (531K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSFrequently, as-sintered specimens having 2223 phase in Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system do not show the critical temperature higher than 100K. The effects of additional heat treatments on the microstructures and electrical properties of these specimens were investigated. Remarkable improvements in the critical temperature and critical current density were achieved by additional sintering.View full abstractDownload PDF (5109K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe influence of the processing on the superconducting characteristics was investigated for the new high-Tc Bi-Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O ceramics. The critical temperature Tc, zero and the critical current density Jc at 77K under zero magnetic field were strongly dependent on the sintering temperature. Further, the Jc was also dependent on the sintering time. The specimen sintered at 845°C for 90h showed maximum values of 105K and 56A/cm2.View full abstractDownload PDF (5781K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThin films of Bi-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system were prepared at the substrate temperature between 550°C and 600°C. The film deposited at 570°C showed X-ray diffraction pattern of Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3Oy phase and had a zero resistance temperature Tc at 23K. After annealing at 570°C under the oxygen pressure of 1 atm, zero resistance temperature Tc increased to 45K, but under the pressure of 0.1 atm, the crystal structure was changed and nonconducting Ca-Cu-O phase appeared.View full abstractDownload PDF (415K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSEffect of element addition on the superconductivity of rare-earth-element-free high Tc superconductors has been investigated. The element was chosen out of the IIa group. The measurement of the superconductivity revealed that the addition of the appropriate amount of Mg together with Cu was effective to rise the zero-resistance temperature of the Bi compounds.View full abstractDownload PDF (504K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSThe effect of Ba addition on the formation and the critical temperature Tc of the high-Tc superconductor in the Bi, Pb-Sr-Ca-Cu-O system was studied. A series of samples Bi0.7Pb0.3Sr1-αBaαCaCu1.8Ox were prepared by the conventional ceramic method. High-Tc phase ( c ≅ 37Å ) was formed without coexistance of low-Tc phase ( c ≅ 30Å ) and 24Å phase in the sample of α ≤ 0.5 by the heat treatment at 845°C for 45-140h even though BaPb0.75Bi0.25O3 and (Sr, Ca)3Cu5Ox were a little remained. The electrical resistance of the sample with a composition of α=0.1 heated at 845°C for 140h dropped to zero at 105K and diamagnetic response was also observed. It was found that the addition of a small amount of Ba promoted the formation of high-Tc phase but Ba2+ ion was hardly substituted in the high-Tc phase.View full abstractDownload PDF (1032K) -

JOURNAL OPEN ACCESSPossibility of grain orientation controlling and activated sintering by thermal diffusion treatment (named heterogeneous sintering) was studied for the superconductive Y1Ba2Cu3Oy ceramics, starting raw materials were mixed powder compacts of Y2O3, BaCO3 and CuO. Heating rate, upper surface temperature, effective temperature gradient, sintering time and cooling rate were approximately, 2K/s, 1240K, 10K/s, 1.8 ks18 ks and 1.4K/s at 750K, respectively; (1) The grains in Y1Ba2Cu3Oy ceramics produced by thermal diffusion treatment were found to be oriented with the c-axis along a heat flow direction, showing a fairly well-oriented grain structure.
(2) Clear differences in temperature dependent electric resistivity between heterogeneously and homogeneously (conventionally) sintered ceramics were recognized as; Critical temperature (Tconset)of superconductivity for the sample which was hetrogeneously sintered for 1.8 ks and cooled at 1.4 K/s in air was both 90 K for the A-B plane (perpendicular to a heat flow direction) and the C-plane (parallel to a heat flow direction). Contrary to this, Tconset for the sample which was homogeneously sintered under the same condition as the above has never appeared in the temperature range down to 77K of liquid nitrogen temperature.View full abstractDownload PDF (497K) -
