Abstract

In this paper, β-PbO nanoparticles were prepared by microwave method irradiation. Bi2−xPb x Sr2Ca2Cu4O y compounds were doped with different values of PbO nanoparticles such as x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 using a solid-state reaction method with annealing times of 30, 60, 90, and 150 h. The prepared samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction patterns, AC magnetic susceptibility, and critical temperature. The results showed that the unit cell of the doped samples is increased with respect to that of undoped samples, indicating substitution of Bi+3 by Pb+2. The temperature dependence of AC magnetic susceptibility of Bi2−xPb x Sr2Ca2Cu4O y compounds was measured as a function of AC magnetic field. The AC magnetic susceptibility and critical temperature results showed that Bi2−xPb x Sr2Ca2Cu4O y compounds including a value of x = 0.4 of PbO nanoparticles prepared at 845 ∘C for 60 h have the maximum critical temperature (T c) and the stability of the sample also improves these growth conditions.
