Abstract

A series of ceramic oxides were prepared by adding alumina to the superconductor YBaCuO. The solids were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with EDS and electrical measurements. Partial drops in electrical resistance (R ≠ 0) indicate the presence of superconducting phases trapped in ceramic masses. Additionally, the systematic diminution of Tc could indicate a partial substitution of Cu by Al.
