Characterizations of YBa5Cu6Ox Superconductor Synthesized by Melt Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

The YBa5Cu6Ox (Y156) superconductors were synthesized by melt process method with sintering at 980 °C. The samples were characterized by the SEM, EDX, XRD and resistance measurement. The critical temperature onset () and the critical temperature offset () were found at 90 K and 80 K respectively. The crystal structures was orthorhombic performed by Rietveld full-profile analysis method with lattice parameter a = 3.80078 Å, b = 3.89068 Å and c = 22.94436 Å. The c/a ratio was 6.04 and the anisotropy was 2.33. The lower c/a ratio and higher anisotropic were found as increasing the sintering temperature with little change in a and b-axis value. We found that as increasing of sintering temperature, the critical temperature was decreased but the anisotropy was increased.
