Investigation of BSCCO Superconductors with Ga Substitution by Solid State Method
Abstract
Samples of (Bi2-xGax)Sr2CaCu2O2 superconductors with varying Ga substitution levels (x=0, 0.06, 0.12, 0.20) were synthesized using the solid-state reaction method. The effects of partial substitution of bismuth and gallium elements on the BSCCO structure were investigated in terms of their electrical, magnetic, structural, and mechanical properties. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determine the crystalline phases, and samples A and B exhibited sharp peaks, indicating well-crystallized material with no Ga2O3 phase. SEM images were used to obtain microscopic views of all samples, and the elemental compositions of each element were determined from EDX spectra. The critical temperature was calculated from R-t measurements, and Sample A exhibited the highest Tc at 96K. Magnetic properties were investigated for all samples, including magnetic hysteresis behavior and magnetic moment. The critical current density (Jc) values were calculated using the Bean model by utilizing magnetic hysteresis.
