Effect of boron adding on BSCCO (2223) superconducting ceramics

Abstract

The effect of B additions on BSCCO (2223) prepared by conventional solid state reaction method was investigated. The structural analysis was carried out by XRD. DC resistivity measurements were carried out by the standard four-probe technique. The AC susceptibility was measured as a function of temperature and field amplitude. The volume fraction of 2223 phase increases with increasing B addition. The superconducting transition temperatures depend on the B addition of the samples.
