Influence of Na doping and sintering temperature on increasing Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 superconducting phase content in powder-form materials

چکیده
This paper proposes a systematic way to explore the effects of Na on Bi-2212 phase formation. The influence of sodium metal is correlated with the 2212 fraction formed in the sample. The effect on the sintering temperature and the importance of the substitution site is studied. Samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Results clearly show that the 2212 phase content is enhanced and sintering temperatures can be lowered with regard to the undoped samples. D 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Polycrystalline samples of Lead free (K0.5Na0.5)1−x(Li)x(Sb)x(Nb)1−xO3 ceramics with nominal compositions (x = 0.040 to 0.060) have been prepared by high temperature solid state reaction technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that the crystal structure transforms from orthorhombic to tetragonal as Li and Sb content increases. Normal sintering process yield compounds with density ~98.2...

The potassium sodium niobate, K0.5Na0.5NbO₃, solid solution (KNN) is considered as one of the most promising, environment-friendly, lead-free candidates to replace highly efficient, lead-based piezoelectrics. Since the first reports of KNN, it has been recognized that obtaining phase-pure materials with a high density and a uniform, fine-grained microstructure is a major challenge. For this rea...
