Investigate Effect of Ag₂O Adding on Y134 Superconductor

Abstract:

In this paper . W e synthesized Y134 superconductor doped Ag₂O by solid state reaction and investigated the effect of Ag₂O addition on the critical temperature of Y134 superconductor and SEM micrographs shown Y134 doped Ag₂O has rather smooth and small pores feature . The maximum critical temperature found at an optimal doping ,0.1 Ag, with Tc onset =97 K.
