X. Wan et al., ENHANCED FLUX-PINNING OF SILVER-SHEATHED (BI,PB)(2)SR2CA2CU3OX TAPES WITH NANO-MGO PARTICLE ADDITION, Superconductor science and technology (Print), 11(10), 1998, pp. 1079-1081
Nano-MgO particles have been introduced into silver-sheathed (Bi, Pb)(
2)Sr2Ca2Cu3Ox tapes fabricated by the rod-in-tube process. It is found
that the transport properties of the nano-MgO particle doped sample a
re noticeably improved compared with those of the undoped sample. The
irreversibility line of the MgO-doped sample shifts to higher temperat
ures and magnetic fields, as compared with the undoped sample. Therefo
re the introduction of nano-MgO particles can effectively enhance the
flux pinning.
