Improvement of Critical Current Density and Flux Trapping in Bulk High-Tc Superconductors

The universal relationship between sample dimensions and cooperative phenomena: effects of fractal dimension on the electronic properties of high-TC cuprate observed using electron spin resonance

“…Several studies on the effect of lattice defects on the SC properties have been conducted using the irradiation of various particle beams, such as ions, electrons, protons, and neutrons. [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] The introduction of AKD or related soft materials [33][34][35][36][37] is a suitable method for the preparation of samples for magnetic measurements because it produces a significantly smaller amount of dangling bonds with localized spins originating from the dissociation of the chemical bonds compared to the particle beam irradiation. The freshly prepared sintered pellets used in the ESR measurements were finely ground in an agate mortar and mixed well with AKD immediately after characterization via iodometry.…”
