摘要

本研究探讨了煅烧温度对YBa2Cu3O7−δ (Y-123)陶瓷超导体特性的影响,该陶瓷超导体采用一种新的改进热分解(MTD)方法合成。其目的是优化煅烧条件与超导体性能之间的关系,这对于推进高温超导体(HTS)的应用至关重要。煅烧过程包括两个不同的温度:850°C (A组)和910°C (B组),每个温度持续24小时。煅烧后,样品在不同的温度下进行烧结:920°C, 950°C和980°C。这一过程有助于研究热处理如何影响结构-性能关系,从而找到增强超导体性能的最佳条件。表征技术包括热重分析(TGA/DTG)、x射线衍射(XRD)、场发射扫描电镜(FESEM)和四点探针测量(4PP)。热稳定性采用热重差热分析。XRD分析表明,A族和B族均存在以Y-123相为主的正交结构,并伴有少量次级相Y2BaCuO5 (Y211)。在910℃下煅烧的样品在980℃的烧结温度下表现出最高的临界温度,如Tc -起始(93.72 K)和Tc -零(90.27 K),以及最低的超导转变宽度ΔTc (3.45 K)。此外,随着烧结温度的逐渐升高,均匀性和密度都有所增加。FESEM分析表明,B组样品具有最致密的晶粒结构和最高的Tc - 0,这表明晶粒之间的互联性增强导致了Tc - 0的升高。本研究强调了精密热处理的重要性,并介绍了一种合成高温超导体的可行方法。

Impact of calcination temperature on the microstructure and superconductivity of YBa2Cu3O7−δ ceramic prepared via modified thermal decomposition method

This study explores the impact of calcination temperature on the characteristics of YBa2Cu3O7−δ (Y-123) ceramic superconductors, synthesized using a novel modified thermal decomposition (MTD) method. It aims to optimize the relationship between calcination conditions and superconductor performance, which is critical for advancing the utility of high-temperature superconductors (HTS). The calcination process involved two distinct temperatures: 850 °C (Group A) and 910 °C (Group B), each sustained for a duration of 24 h. Following calcination, the samples underwent sintering at varying temperatures: 920 °C, 950 °C, and 980 °C. This process facilitates the examination of how thermal treatment affects the structure-property relationship to find the best conditions for enhanced superconductor performance. The characterization techniques employed encompassed thermogravimetric analysis (TGA/DTG), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and four-point probe measurements (4PP). Thermal stability was examined using TGA-DTA analysis. The XRD analysis revealed the existence of the orthorhombic structure featuring the Y-123 phase in both Group A and Group B with a minor secondary phase, Y2BaCuO5 (Y211). The samples calcined at 910 °C exhibited the highest critical temperatures, such as Tc−onset (93.72 K) and Tc−zero (90.27 K), with the lowest superconducting transition width, ΔTc (3.45 K), at a sintering temperature of 980 °C. Furthermore, an increase in both homogeneity and density was noted with the gradual rise in sintering temperature. FESEM analysis revealed that the sample in Group B exhibited the most densely compacted grain structure and the highest Tc−zero, implying that enhanced interconnectivity among the grains leads to an elevation in Tc−zero. This study underscores the significance of precise thermal processing and introduces a viable method for synthesizing high-Tc superconductors.
