Abstract

It has been shown recently that the incorporation of gold nanoparticles into Y{sub 1}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} enhances the superconducting properties of this material in a significant way. Previous XRD and TEM investigations suggest different crystallographic relations of the gold nanoparticles with respect to the epitaxial Y{sub 1}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ}. Here, detailed investigations of the crystal orientations for a large ensemble of gold nanoparticles with electron backscatter diffraction are reported. The average size of the gold nanoparticles is in the range of 60 nm–80 nm. We identified five different types of heteroepitaxial relationships between the gold nanoparticles and the superconductor film, resulting in complex pole figures. The observed different types of crystallographic orientations are discussed based on good lattice matching and the formation of low energy interfaces.

Ni Nanoparticle-Added Ni{sub x}/(Cu{sub 0.5}Tl{sub 0.5})Ba{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 10-δ} Superconductor Composites and Their Enhanced Flux Pinning Characteristics

Journal Article Saleem, Abida; Abbas, S.; Irfan, M. - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

Ni nanoparticle-added Ni{sub x}/(Cu{sub 0.5}Tl{sub 0.5})Ba{sub 2}Ca{sub 2} Cu{sub 3}O{sub 10-δ} superconductor composites are synthesized at normal pressure by two-step solid-state reaction method. The idea for adding ferromagnetic nanoparticles was to create artificial pinning centers at grain boundaries. The samples have shown orthorhombic crystal structure in which the cell parameters increase with an increase in the added concentration of Ni nanoparticles. This shows that due to the higher reactivity, Ni nanoparticles partially diffuse into the unit cell of (Cu{sub 0.5}Tl{sub 0.5})Ba{sub 2}Ca{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 10-δ} superconductors. This also indicates as an evidence of the occupancy of these nanoparticles at grainmore »« less

Effect of Y{sub 2}BaCuO{sub 5} Nanoparticle Doping on Critical Current Density of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-δ} Bulk Superconductor

Journal Article Farbod, Mansoor; Shokrollahzadeh, Mahdieh; Shoushtari, Morteza - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

This study presents the effect of Y{sub 2}BaCuO{sub 5} (Y211) nanoparticle doping on critical current density and critical temperature of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-δ} (YBCO) superconductor. Y211 nanoparticles with different particle sizes ranging from 34 to 455 nm were synthesized by a sol-gel method, then doped into the YBCO superconductor by 0.5, 1, and 2 wt.%. Samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope measurements. The standard four-probe technique was used to measure the critical current density at 77 K. The results showed that in the all-doped samples, critical current density was higher than that of the puremore »« less

The Influence of Substrate Temperature of Seed Layer on the Structure and Superconducting Property of BaHfO{sub 3}-Doped Y{sub 0.5}Gd{sub 0.5}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} Film Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Journal Article Liu, Linfei; Wang, Wei; Zheng, Tong; ... - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

For various practical applications, excellent superconducting properties under magnetic field of REBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} (RE = rare earth elements (REBCO))-coated conductors are required, which can be fabricated by introducing artificial pinning centers, such as second-phase dopant. It is well known that BaMO{sub 3} (M = Zr, Sn, or Hf) can form self-organized nanorods in REBCO matrix and improve the critical current density (J{sub c}) under applied magnetic field. However, with increasing dopant level, the critical temperature T{sub c} and J{sub c} at 77 K in self-field decreased. In order to inhibit the degradation of the J{sub c} in self-field,more »« less

Effect of Yb Substitution on Microstructure and Superconducting Properties of Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} Films

Journal Article Li, Chunyan; Suo, Hongli; Ye, Shuai; ... - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

The purpose of this study was to improve the critical current density (J{sub c}) of YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} (YBCO) superconducting films at high magnetic fields. Thin Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}Ba{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7−δ} (Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}BCO) superconducting films on LaAlO{sub 3} substrates were prepared by modified low-fluorine metal organic deposition method (LF-MOD) in order to investigate the effect of Yb substitution on the microstructure and superconducting properties of a YBCO-coated conductor. In this study, single-phased, c-axial-aligned Y{sub 1−x}Yb{sub x}BCO films were obtained. Yb doping had a little effect on the critical temperature (T{sub c}) and transition width (ΔT) values ofmore »« less

Pulsed laser deposition of thin superconducting films of Ho/sub 1/Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub x/ and Y/sub 1/Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub x/

Journal Article Geohegan, D; Mashburn, D; Culbertson, R; ... - J. Mat. Res.; (United States)

Thin films of Ho/sub 1/Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub x/ and Y/sub 1/Ba/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-//sub x/ were deposited on SrTiO/sub 3/ and Al/sub 2/O/sub 3/ substrates by pulsed laser deposition of high-T/sub c/ bulk superconductor pellets in vacuum. Following annealing in O/sub 2/ at 800--900 /sup 0/C the films were superconducting with typical T/sub c/ (50%) = 89 K and transition widths of 10 K. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) were utilized to study the stoichiometry of the as-deposited films for laser energy densities between 0.11 and 4.5 J cm/sup -2/. The films were deficientmore »« less
