Synthesis of Bi_1.6Pb_0.4Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_10+δ-(Dy₂O₃)_x Added with Magnetic Nanoparticles Dy₂O₃ Dysprosium Oxide (0.0≤x≤0.1) via Co-Precipitation Method

Abstract:

Superconducting study present the properties of small weight percent of magnetic nanoparticles Dy₂O₃ from x = 0.0 to 0.10 added in Bi_1.6Pb_0.4Sr₂Ca₂Cu₃O_10+δ (Dy₂O₃)_x. It is found, the form size of magnetic nanoparticles Dy₂O₃ is spherical, nano Dy₂O₃ particles will enter easily into the Bi, Pb-2223 superconductor. From here it is early to conclude the inducing of Dy atoms into the Bi, Pb-2223 crystal structure because Bi-based superconductors are known for their strong anistropic properties and extremely short coherence length (ξ) as long there are significant change in it microstructure, lattice parameter and the normal state conductivity of the system. The characterization on critical temperature (T_c) and transport critical current density (J_c) of magnetic nanoparticles Dy₂O₃ added to enhance the optimum amount levels added. The maximum T_c achieved T_c-(R=0) 109 K (for x = 0.4) as samples respectively compared to the pure samples. This results will discussed directly to the basis properties changes in Bi, Pb-2223 with addition of magnetic nanoparticles of Dy₂O₃.
