Abstract

AbstractIt has been found that simultaneous doping of Tl and Bi at Hg site of HgBa2Ca2Cu3O8+δ HTSC phase induces interesting microstructural variants in the form of long period polytypoid (LPP) like structure embodying native defect substructures. It has been observed that the as synthesized (HgTl0.2−xBix)Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+δ (with x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) phases have superconducting onset transition temperature (Tc) of about ∼133 K. However, the intragrain critical current density (Jc) for the various materials with different compositions varies significantly. It varies from 6.2 × 106 A/cm2 to 2.9 × 106 A/cm2 at 5 K and 1 T for (HgTl0.10Bi10)Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+δ and (HgTl0.15Bi0.05)Ba2Ca2Cu3O8+δ HTSC phase respectively. A correlation between the intragrain Jc and the defect substructures has been found to be present. This correlation has been described and disscussed. (© 2003 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
