The structural symmetry was found to be tetragonal in all the substitution levels. The best electrical performance was obtained from the 6 = 0 sample, the T-c and T-zero was obtained at 110 K and 107 K, respectively. The J(c) values of the samples were determined using the magnetization hysteresis and Bean's model. The crystallization kinetics were investigated using nonisothermal models of Augis-Bennett. The calculated activation energy, E-a, of the system was found to be in the range of 258-336 kJ/mol.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessactivation energysuperconductivityHTc (Bi2-delta Zn delta)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10+yZn-substitutionArticle15655355810.1023/A:1021290923537WOS:000179495900012Q3
