“…One of the most practical technique for enhancing the microhardness of superconducting phases is the filling of voids by addition/substitution of nanoparticles. (Karara, Uzun, Kolemen, Yilmaz, & Sahin 2009) (Abdeen, et al, 2016) (Awad, 2008) (Mohammed, Abou Aly, Ibrahim, Awad , & Rekaby, 2011) (Aydin, Cakiroglu, Nursoy, & Terzioglu, 2009) (Terzioglu, 2011). The introducing of ZnO in Bi 1.84 Pb 0.34 Sr 1.91 Ca 2.03 Cu 3.06 O 10 superconductors increased the indentation hardness and the elastic modulus values as observed by Karaca et al (Karaca, Uzun, Kolemen, Yilmaz, & Sahin, 2009).…”
