Transport properties on Bi-2212 superconductors can be improved by grain orientation methods while mechanical ones can be tuned up by the addition of metallic silver. Both processes can be performed simultaneously using ...

In this study, we report the physical and magnetic properties of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O x textured materials prepared by a LFZ melting technique and annealed for different times (60, 72, 96 and 120 h). SEM images of the annealed ...

The microstructure, grain alignment, superconducting and thermal transport properties of Ni-substituted Bi-2212 rods grown at two different speeds (15 and 30 mm h−1) through the Laser Floating Zone method, have been ...

Time decay of magnetization, known as magnetic relaxation, is crucial for both fundamental and applied point of view in bulk high temperature superconductors (HTS) by setting the limits to the HTS devices stability. ...
