Abstract
BiSCCO (Bi–Sr–Ca–Cu–O) is high temperature superconductor with a lot of possible applications. Interfaces between superconductors and metal conductors are one of the technological problems. In this work, silver-superconductor composite was prepared by using flow of silver nanoparticles suspension in DMF (N,N-dimethylformamide) through superconductor’s pore system. Silver nanoparticles were prepared by reaction of silver nitrate with DMF. Properties of prepared composite were measured by SEM charting, XRD and critical current measurements. SEM chart showed uniform distribution of silver across sample. XRD and critical current measurements validated superconducting properties of prepared composite. In the future, materials based on this method could be used as an interface between superconductors and metals or as a base for superconducting composite with much better mechanical properties.
