Enhanced Transport Critical Current Density of NiO Nano Particles Added YBCO Superconductors

Abstract:

The effects of NiO nanoparticles addition in YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ (YBCO) superconductors had been investigated. YBCO superconductor powders were prepared by using high purity oxide powders via solid state reaction method. 0.01 0.05 wt.% of NiO nanoparticles were added into YBCO. The critical temperature (T_c) and transport critical current density (J_c) were determined by using four point probe method. The lattice parameters and morphology of the samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), respectively. T_c of YBCO increased from 84 K to 87 K with 0.02 wt.% of NiO nanoparticles addition. The addition on NiO nanoparticles have significantly enhanced transport critical current density of YBCO by acting as flux pinning centers. YBCO with 0.03 wt.% of NiO nanoparticles performed the highest J_c up to 1265 mA/cm² among the NiO-added samples. However, excessive addition of NiO nanoparticles in YBCO caused degradation in T_c and J_c.
