Abstract
This study investigates the alternating current (AC) losses in pristine and MgB2-added bulk Bi1.8Pb0.20Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+δ ((Bi, Pb)-2223) superconductors at 77 K. Polycrystalline pellets of (Bi, Pb)-2223 and 0.5, 1 and 2 wt.% MgB2-added bulk (Bi, Pb)-2223 were synthesized using a solid-state reaction process. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirms the presence of (Bi, Pb)-2223 as the primary phase in the crystal structure. Electrical resistivity measurements between 77 and 300 K reveals a decrease in the transition temperature (Tc) and an increase in the transition width (∆Tc) of (Bi, Pb)-2223 with increasing MgB2 concentration. Diamagnetic response of the samples indicates a decrease in the superconducting volume fraction of (Bi, Pb)-2223 upon MgB2 addition. Magnetic AC losses were measured as a function of applied magnetic field and frequency. The eddy loss contribution, estimated using the expression reported by Chattopadhyay and Dey [1,15,,2] has a measly contribution and hence confirms the dominant role of hysteresis loss in total magnetic AC losses.
期刊介绍:
The Bulletin of Materials Science is a bi-monthly journal being published by the Indian Academy of Sciences in collaboration with the Materials Research Society of India and the Indian National Science Academy. The journal publishes original research articles, review articles and rapid communications in all areas of materials science. The journal also publishes from time to time important Conference Symposia/ Proceedings which are of interest to materials scientists. It has an International Advisory Editorial Board and an Editorial Committee. The Bulletin accords high importance to the quality of articles published and to keep at a minimum the processing time of papers submitted for publication.
