Abstract:The effect of antimony (Sb) substitution on Ba-site of porous structure YBa 2 Cu 3 O δ (YBCO) superconductor was investigated. Polycrystalline sucrose was used to create the open pores in the structure. A series of sample with a nominal composition of YBa 2-x Sb x Cu 3 O δ where x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40 and 0.50 were synthesized and characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, resistivity measurement technique and Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) equipment. For porous Sb-doped sample wi… Show more
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.
