This study examined the impact of adding hard ferrite Ba0.5Sr0.5Fe12O19 (BSF) nanoparticles to the Bi1.8Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3.2O10+δ (Bi, Pb)-2223) superconductor phase. The investigation specifically focused on evaluating the critical current density, fluctuation-induced conductivity, and magnetoresistance of nano-(BSF)x/(Bi, Pb)-2223 composite, where 0.00 ≤ x ≤ 0.20 wt.%. The results revealed that the critical current density, Jc, increased with the addition of nano-(BSF) up to x = 0.04 wt.%, reaching a value of 441.20 A/cm2. The Aslamazov and Larkin (A–L) approach has been evaluated the fluctuation-induced conductivity. Several superconducting parameters, including coherence length ζc(0), effective layer thickness d, penetration depth λpd(0), and Fermi energy $${E}_{F}$$ E F showed improvement as the concentration of nano-(BSF) increased up to x = 0.04 wt.%. In addition to Ginzburg–Landau critical parameters, such as the thermodynamic critical field Bc(0), lower critical magnetic field Bc1(0), upper critical magnetic field Bc2(0), and critical current density Jc(0) demonstrated an increase up to x = 0.04 wt.%, followed by a decrease for higher concentrations. The magnetoresistance measurements were performed at various applied DC magnetic fields, with values ranging from 0.29 to 4.44 kG, and were analyzed using the thermally activated flux creep (TAFC) and Ambegaokar–Halperin (AH) models. The calculated flux pinning energy (U) increased with the addition of nano-(BSF) up to x = 0.04 wt.% and then decreased for x > 0.04 wt.%. Furthermore, the transition width (ΔT), was observed to increase as the applied magnetic field values increased. Moreover, the addition of nano-(BSF) increased the field-independent critical current density, Jc,0(0), up to x = 0.04 wt.%, after which it decreased for higher concentrations.

In this study, the impact of different types of nanoferrites additions of Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 and Ba0.4Sr0.4Ca0.2Fe12O19 nanoparticles and their nanocomposite of (Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4)0.5 (Ba0.4Sr0.4Ca0.2Fe12O19)0.5 on the structural and normal state resistivity of Bi1.6Pb0.4Sr2Ca2Cu3O10, ((Bi,Pb)-2223) superconducting phase were systematically investigated. The samples were synthesised using high purity oxide powders via a solid-state reaction approach. Based on the Rietveld analysis of X-ray diffraction (XRD) data, the tetragonal structure of (Bi,Pb)-2223 was established to be the predominant phase for all composite samples of the three nano-additions' contents. However, a little change to the lattice parameters (a and c) was obtained. Furthermore, the small amounts (0.04 wt. %) of Ba0.4Sr0.4Ca0.2Fe12O19 and (Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4)0.5(Ba0.4Sr0.4Ca0.2Fe12O19)0.5 improved the development of the (Bi,Pb)-2223 phase. The volume fraction of the (Bi,Pb)-2223 phase increased from 86.47 % to 88.73 % and 88.69 %, respectively. Then, it declined to 74.25 % and 71.48 % upon rising x to 0.40 wt. %, respectively, as well as for Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles up to 0.40 wt.%. SEM images verify the host superconducting matrix's granular structure for all three nanoadditions up to 0.40 wt.%. The existence of three nano additions in the host superconductor matrix is verified by employing energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis. The measurements for the resistivity dependency of temperature presented that, as compared to the pure sample (Tc = 108.67 K), the nano-(Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4)xadded in the (Bi,Pb)-2223 phase exhibits more negative impact than it is with the other two additions.In contrast, the nano-(Ba0.4Sr0.4Ca0.2Fe12O19)x has the highest value of TC with a value of 110.95 K at x = 0.04 wt.%. Furthermore, the superconducting transition width (∆Tc) improved for all composite samples except for the sample at x = 0.04 wt.%, for Ba0.4Sr0.4Ca0.2Fe12O19 and (Zn0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4)0.5 (Ba0.4Sr0.4 Ca0.2Fe12O19)0.5 which showed the sharpest transition width. This suggests that their addition is anticipated to act as artificial pinning centers and strengthen the coupling between the grains in the (Bi,Pb)-2223 ceramic.
