Abstract:

In this paper, solid state method was using to synthesize the of magnesium diboride (MgB2) added in Bi 1.6Pb 0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3Oδ(Bi-2223) superconductor from 0.00 to 0.10 wt.%. The effect on additions were investigated through X-ray Diffraction (XRD), resistance-temperature (R-T) measurement and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). From the XRD result, volume fraction of Bi-2223 showed the highest volume percentage was 76 % correspond to addition with MgB2=0.02 wt.% and slightly decreased the percentage while increased the additions. From the R-T measurement, all samples showed the metallic behavior in the normal state. Morphology images showed that the grains were flaky plates and the size slightly increased. These results revealed that, additions of magnesium diboride change the microstructure and decrease the superconducting transition.
