Effects of high-intensity ultrasound on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x superconductor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Slurries of powdered Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (BSCCO-2212) superconductor in high-boiling alkanes were irradiated with intense ultrasound. Significant enhancements of magnetic irreversibility as well as transport critical current are reported. The effects are dependent on the concentration of the slurry and are optimal for 1.5 wt % slurry loading. Electron microscopy shows that ultrasonic treatment leads to a change in grain morphology and intergrain welding. The observed enhancement of superconducting properties is consistent with the limitations in critical currents in BSCCO superconductor being due to intergrain coupling rather than intragrain pinning strength. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

The extended Hubbard model applied to phase diagram and the pressure effects in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+ysuperconductors
We use the two dimensional extended Hubbard Hamiltonian with the position of the attractive potential as a variable parameter with a BCS type approach to study the interplay between the superconductor transition temperature Tc and hole content for high temperature superconductors. This novel method gives some insight on the range and intensity of the Cooper pair interaction and why different co...
متن کاملInvestigation of structural effects of Bi nanoparticle addition on HTSC- BSCCO-2223,Through The sol-gel Method
In this research, the influence of Bi nanoparticles addition on the high temperature superconductor BSCCO-2223 was studied. For this purpose, the samples were synthesized by the conventional sol-gel method. Then, the Bi nanoparticles with x= 0.00, 0.03, 0.06, 0.12wt% was added to BSCCO-2223. The structural characterization of all the samples was done by X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD). Also, th...
متن کاملZero Bias Conductance Peak Enhancement in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8/Pb Tunneling Junctions
We found strong zero bias conductance peak enhancement in Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 by tunneling in the ab-plane direction. Our results are consistent with recent studies on Andreev reflection between a d-wave superconductor and normal metal. We have also observed exotic behaviors of the conductance peak if the counter electrode is a conventional superconductor. If these characteristics are better understo...
