The addition of metal nanoparticles in the Bi-based superconductors has shown the disorder produced by the cations incorporation in the crystal structure affects the TC (Critical temperature) of the system. the addition of new mixture of (Cr2O3: SnO)x on high temperature superconductors HTS Bi1.6Pb0.4 Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ (Bi-2223) with ratio 1:1 where x = 0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 was investigated by solid-state reaction technique was used to prepare superconductor samples. Samples were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FS-EM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX), and electrical resistivity. the results of XRD proved that the structure of 2223 remains the same even with the addition of (Cr2O3: SnO)x nanoparticles. The phase 2223 has the majority even phase Bi-2212 and phase Ca2PbO4 showed a contribution inside structure. As a result of the change physico-chemical properties resistivity of the doped optimized sample x = 0.10 was increasing 2.2 K approximately rather than the undoped one then decreased gradually up to x = 0.20. From resistivity measurement, the TC of 2223 doped with (Cr2O3: SnO)x at x = 0.10 was 113.2 K approximately. The addition of metal oxides in superconductor materials has been considered to be one of the most promising materials for large scale applications in superconducting industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
