In this research, the effect of silver doping on 2223 phase of ceramic superconductor Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oδ (BSCCO) has been investigated. To synthesis the samples, we used solid-state reaction method and two different doping methods, namely, doping samples during making processes (batches No.1) and doping samples after making superconductor (batch No.2). With doping Ag to BSCCO, the criti...
