    Improvement in electrical properties of Bi-2212 superconducting materials substituted with large-scale nano-sized tin
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2024) Aytekin, Mehmet Ersin; Akyol, Mustafa; Ozkurt, Berdan
    In the current work, the effect of nano-sized Sn (50 nm)/Sr partial replacement on the superconducting properties such as crystal structure, quality of intra- and intergrain boundary coupling, dc electrical resistivity, and dc magnetization in the Bi-2212 ceramic superconductors were investigated. Ceramic superconductors with nominal composition of Bi2Sr2-x(Sn)(x)Ca1Cu1.75Na0.25Oy where x = 0.25, 0.30, 0.35 and 0.40 were prepared by solid-state reaction method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), dc electrical resistivity, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and magnetic hysteresis (M-H) measurements. Phase examination of by XRD indicated that the doping of x = 0.25 ratio nano-sized SnO2 to the strontium sites improved the formation of the Bi-2212 high-temperature superconducting phase. SEM micrographs showed that the morphological structure of all samples consisted of plate-like grains, which were separated from each other by grain boundaries, indicating the Bi-2212 superconducting phase. The highest superconductivity transition temperature among the samples was measured as the T-c(onset) = 86 K at x = 0.25 in Bi2Sr2-x(Sn)(x)Ca1Cu1.75Na0.25Oy. M-H loops of the Bi2Sr2-x(Sn)(x)Ca1Cu1.75Na0.25Oy sample at x = 0.25 ratio is larger compared to other examples, indicating improvement intergrain connectivity as well as enhanced flux pinning centers. In addition, the critical current (J(c)) values of the samples were calculated from M-H measurement using Bean's critical current model. The best J(c) values were obtained as 570 A/cm(2) at 15 K, which is a relatively high value for BSCCO superconductors with polycrystalline structure.
