V. Vidyalal et al., ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC MEASUREMENTS IN K DOPED GDBA2CU3O7-D HIGH-TEMPERATURE SUPERCONDUCTORS, International journal of modern physics b, 7(18), 1993, pp. 3273-3279
Stable and reproducible superconducting transition between 92 K and 10
0 K has been observed both resistively and magnetically in potassium d
oped GdBa2Cu3O7-delta ceramic material. It has been found that the sin
tering temperature as well as stoichiometry plays an important role in
determining the value of T(c). Subtle changes in T(c) occur for certa
in weight % of K. The effect of changing composition on the supercondu
cting transition temperature is also reported here.
