X-ray diffraction study on YBa2Cu3O7−δ with BaCuO2 addition
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 March 2012
Abstract
Two-phase polycrystalline powder mixtures of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (YBCO) and xBaCuO2 (x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3) were prepared by solid reaction. The Rietveld refinements of X-ray powder diffraction data show that BaCuO2 addition was successfully produced in superconductor YBCO and the unit-cell parameters of YBCO reach a maximum at x=0.05. The critical current density (Jc) also reaches a maximum at x=0.05 and then decreases sharply with increasing amount of BaCuO2. The change of Jc as a function of x was found to be similar to those of the unit-cell parameters. The characteristic behavior of Jc may come from the structure-parameter change of YBCO caused by BaCuO2 addition.
