Abstract
- The current investigation reports the influence of the addition of CdFeO nanoparticles on the structural and superconducting properties of the (Bi,Pb)-2212 phase. The formation of an orthorhombic phase of Bi-2212 superconductor is confirmed by the X-ray powder diffraction measurements. The scanning electron microscope measurements show an improvement in the grain connectivity and a decline of voids due to the CdFeO nanoparticles addition. The Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy is used to associate the absorption bands to equivalent functional groups. The DC-electrical resistivity and the I-V characteristic measurements show an enhancement of the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) and the critical current density (Jc) up to 0.02 wt% addition of CdFeO, respectively. The elemental composition and oxidation states are determined using X-ray photoelectron emission spectroscopy. The results suggest a correlation between the electric behavior and the cationic equilibrium reactions among Pb2+ ions in Bi3+ or Cu2+ sites. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
