Study of the influence of carbon nanotubes on the superconducting properties of YBCO composite

Abstract

This article describes a method for producing a superconducting composite based on YBCO doped with carbon nanotubes by solid-phase combustion in an atmosphere of pure oxygen. It has been determined that the initial connection of the components, the ignition temperature and holding time, as well as the degree of doping with CNT nanoparticles affect the qualitative and quantitative provision of the superconducting Y123 phase, including its superconducting properties.
