Flux pinning structures in melt-processed YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-x}

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10117423

Microstructural examination of melt-processed YBa{sub 2}Cu{sub 3}O{sub 7-x} has revealed the presence of a high density of stacking faults in the 123 surrounding entrapped 211 particles. Estimates of their pinning effectiveness and density suggest that dislocation loops bounding these stacking faults may explain the increase in J{sub c} in melt-processed material with 211/123 interfacial area.
