Effect of high-intensity ultrasound on superconducting properties of polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7−x
نویسنده
چکیده
High intensity ultrasonic irradiation (sonication) of alkane slurries of polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7−x leads to a significant modification of the grain morphology and, if performed with enforced oxygen flow, results in the increase of the superconducting transition temperature. Sonication with added Fe(CO)5 produces magnetic Fe2O3 nanoparticles deposited on the surface of YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) granules. Upon sintering these nanoparticles should act as efficient pinning centers utilizing both condensation and magnetic contributions to the free energy. The developed method could become a major technique to produce practically useful high-pinning nanocomposite materials based on YBa2Cu3O7−x superconductor.
