Crystallographic & Electrical Properties of Pr Substituted Gd-123 Nanometre Sized High Temperature Superconductors

Abstract:

The samples of Gd1-xPrxBa2Cu3O7-δ with compositions x = 0.0, 0.1 & 0.3 were prepared by ceramic route. The XRD study of all samples is carried out. The XRD studies of the samples prepared by ceramic route show GdPr-123 system have an orthorhombic pervoskite structure. The lattice parameters, oxygen content, volume of unit cell, orthorhombic distortion, hole concentration in CuO2 plane and charge on Cu-O plane were evaluated using XRD data. It is found that the lattice parameters, volume of unit cell increase while oxygen content orthorhombic distortion, hole concentration (Psh) and average charge (p) decrease as doping percentage of Pr increases. The resistivity measurement shows the transition temperature decreases while transition width increases with increasing Pr concentration. The suppression of superconductivity may be due to reduction in hole concentration or magnetic pair breaking. We report such qualitative results of Pr substituted Gd-123 in this paper quantitatively.
