Article Preview

Abstract:

A study of the effects of Cerium oxide nanoparticle doped with BSCCO-2223 on the microstructure and superconducting properties was carried out. All samples were synthesized using solid state reaction method. Ce concentration is varied from x = 0.0 up to 0.1 in a general stoichiometry of Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca1-xCexCu3Oy. The samples were characterized structurally and electrically by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and four-point probe method respectively. XRD analysis shows that both (Bi,Pb)-2212 and (Bi,Pb)-2223 phases coexist in the samples having tetragonal crystal structure but changed to orthorhombic when x=0.10. The values of critical transition temperature, TC and critical current density, JC of the samples decreased with the increase in Ce concentration. The possible reasons for the observed degradation in superconducting and structural properties of Bi-2223 due to Ce nanoparticles addition were discussed.
