Abstract:

The influence of Sm addition on the microstructure and superconducting properties of Y-Ba-Cu-O (YBCO) bulk superconductors has been studied. Precursor powders YBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ (Y-123), Y₂O₃ and CeO₂ were enriched with different amounts of SmBa₂Cu₃O_y (Sm-123) or Sm₂O₃ powders with the aim to increase critical current density, J_c, by introducing additional pinning centers. YBCO bulk superconductors with SmBa₂Cu₃O_y (Y123-Sm) or Sm₂O₃ (Y123-SmO) powder addition were prepared by the optimized top seeded melt growth process in the form of single grains. Microstructure analysis revealed that Sm₂O₃ addition leads to a higher amount of smaller Y₂BaCuO₅ (Y-211) particles, what is related to high critical current densities (J_c ~ 7 x 10⁴ A/cm²) of the YBCO samples with Sm₂O₃ addition in low magnetic fields. The effect of Sm addition in the form of SmBa₂Cu₃O_y as well as Sm₂O₃ powder on Y₂BaCuO₅ particle size, critical temperature, T_c, and critical current density, J_c, is reported.
