Abstract

ABSTRACTLevitation force and magnetic field trapping are the most important properties of YBCO large grain materials. They are dependent on the pinning force exerting on the magnetic flux lines by various crystal defects in YBCO. In this paper, Ga-doped bulk YBCO samples were fabricated by SmBCO seeded melt-growth process. The levitation force and trapped field were enhanced by the introduce of nanometer scale week superconducting regions which are formed by the Ga partially substituting for Cu on the Cu-O chain.
