Processing and properties of high Tc oxide/silver matrix composite superconductorsThis paper describes the processing conditions for the formation of strong flux pinning high-Tc (REE)1Ba2Cu3O7/AgO (RE-123/AgO) composites with the RE-123:AgO ratio of 3:1 and presents the magnetization and critical field data on these composites. The results obtained indicate that proper processing conditions are critical to the formation of strong flux pinning RE-123/AgO composites. Resistance measurements in a magnetic field show that the upper critical field in Y-123/AgO is about three times larger than that of the Y-123 compound.
