The influence of an admixture of boron oxide B2O3 on the magnetic and electrical properties of a high-Tc superconducting ceramic with the nominal composition Bi1.7Pb0.3Sr2Ca2Cu4Oy is investigated. A nonmonotonic dependence of the critical temperature Tc (ρ=0) and magnetic susceptibility on the boron concentration is found.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
