Ia. Shaikh et al., EFFECT OF ZN SUBSTITUTION IN GDBA2CU3O7-DELTA ON SUPERCONDUCTIVITY, Indian Journal of Pure & Applied Physics, 32(1), 1994, pp. 85-86
Zn-doped GdBa2Cu3O7-delta (Gd-123) samples prepared under identical co
nditions, have been characterized by resistivity measurements. The obs
erved similarity in T(c) drop between Zn-doped Gd-123 and Zn-doped YBa
2Cu3O7-delta suggests that the magnetic moment of Gd ions has no effec
t on the dopant Zn.
