Abstract:The effects of nanosized Bi2O3 (150 nm) addition on Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 ((Bi,Pb)-2223) superconductor have been investigated. Samples with nominal starting composition (Bi,Pb)-2223)(Bi2O3)x with x = 0-0.15 wt.% were prepared using the co-precipitation method. The structure and microstructure were examined by using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) method and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The onset-temperature (Tc-onset), zero-resistance-temperature (Tc-zero), and transport critical current … 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.
