Abstract

The effect of Zn0.95Ni0.05O nanoparticles addition on the superconducting properties of (Cu0.25Tl0.75)Ba2Ca3Cu4O12−δ superconducting phase was studied. Superconducting samples of type (Zn0.95Ni0.05O)x(Cu0.25Tl0.75)Ba2Ca3Cu4O12−δ, x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0 wt%, were prepared via a single step of solid-state reaction technique at 850 °C under ambient pressure. X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and energy dispersive X-ray were used for samples characterization. The superconducting properties were investigated using the electrical resistivity and DC magnetization measurements. The results showed that the addition of nano-Zn0.95Ni0.05O up to x = 0.6 wt% enhanced the phase formation and improved the superconducting transition temperature Tc in contrary for x > 0.6 wt%, Tc was decreased as x increased. Low field magnetization measurement, H = 20 Gauss, was conducted to the samples to determine the magnetic superconducting transition temperature Tc-mag. Both Tc and Tc-mag were found to have the same behavior with increasing x, whereas the values of Tc-mag were slightly lower than that for Tc values.
