Structural and electrical properties of YBCO added with Nd2O3, Gd2O3 and Sm2O3 nanoparticles

Abstract

It is well known that the superconducting properties are strongly dependent on the synthesis technique and processing conditions. Coprecipitation method is frequently used in sample synthesis and thus, chosen in this project due to high homogeneity, low reaction temperature, fine and uniform particle size with non-agglomerate particles, easy set-up and economical, and time saving processing.
