The EDT A gel processing route has been used to produce (2223) BSCCO superconductiong oxides. Gel - processed (2223) BSCCO material was sintered in air or oxygen to produce specimens for transition temperature determination; the same specimens were characterised by high re.'ioultion transmission electron microscopy fitted with EDAX analysis to yield information about homogeneity, microst...

We have studied the thermally activated flux creep of a newly fabricated superconductor Y3Ba5Cu8O18 with the superconducting transition temperature 102 K. Analysis of the transition spread from the normal state to superconducting state in the electrical resistivity revealed that the thermally activated flux creep explains the electron share in the vicinity of the transition temperature Tc. The ...

  Single phase polycrystalline Gd1-xPrxBa2Cu3O7-δ samples with x=0.05 , 0.10, and 0.15 have been prepared by standard solid state reaction technique and characterized by XRD and SEM analysis. The electrical resistivity, Hall effect and magnetoresistance measurements have been on the samples. The electrical resistivity measurements indicate a reduction of transition temperature (Tc) and an incre...

In this research, YBa2Cu3O7-d (0 < d < 1) nanocrystalite superconductor was prepared by mechanochemical alloying method. We synthesized YBa2Cu3O7-d via mixing the BaCO3, Y2O3, CuO powders and milling in SPEX 8000 for 5h with weight ratio of ball to powder 10:1 and steel balls of 11mm diameter, followed by heating for 4h at 850 ˚C. The superconductor phase formation process was completed with si...

  We report systematic investigations of the magnetic superconducting properties of the new superconducting materials (NS): New high temperature superconductors (HTS), Organic superconductors (OS), fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, MgB2 etc. We show that, contrary to conventional superconductors where the superconducting state can be coherent over several tenths of km, the macroscopic coherence ran...

  By using Greens function method we first show that the effective interaction between two electrons mediated by plasmon exchange can become attractive which in turn can lead to superconductivity at a high critical temperature in a singl wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). The superconducting transition temperature Tc for the SWCNT (3,3) obtained by this mechanism agrees with the recent experimental...

  In this work Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr1.9Ca2.1Cu3O10-y superconducting system (Bi2223) has been prepared by solid state reaction and the effect of nanoalumina additive on the phase formation and supercoducting properties have been investigated. XRD investigations show that addition of 0.2 wt% of nanoalumina on the superconducting system improved Bi-2223 phase formation . The results show that Jc increases...
