Abstract
AbstractIn this detailed study, the changes of microstructural, mechanical, and superconducting features of bulk Bi1.8Pb0.2Sr2.0Ca1.8Pb0.2Cu3Oy materials prepared at different milling time intervals (0.5 h ≤ x ≤ 8 h) were investigated in the most precise manner. The measurements of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Vickers microhardness (Hv) were designed to scrutinize the bulk BSCCO samples. All the results of the measurements and calculations show that the characteristics responsible for the applications of the technology, industry, and engineering are significantly improved up to the 3 h milling time beyond that they tend to deteriorate. The enhancement of the characters is generally related to the transition from underdoped level of the (Bi, Pb)-2223 to the optimum level with the milling duration and this event approves that sufficient Pb nanoparticles penetrate the crystal structure. On the other hand, some of the reasons for the suppression in the superconducting properties are the presence of the porosity, disorder, defects, and the localization problem in the Cu-O2 consecutively stacked layers. In addition to those mentioned above, the other reasons are degradation in the crystallinity, reduction in the average crystallite size, and decrease in mobile hole concentration in the Cu-O2 layers. Similarly, the Pb inclusion rises the artificial random dislocations and grain boundary weak-links in the (Bi, Pb)-2223 superconducting system. Vickers microhardness measurements show that (Bi, Pb)-2223 bulk superconducting specimens exhibit typical indentation size behavior depending on the presence of both elastic and plastic deformations in the system. The results obtained from the hardness measurements have been analyzed by using Meyer law, PRS model, MPRS model, elastic–plastic deformation model, and Hays-Kendall approach. As a result, the Hays-Kendall approach was identified as the most successful model in describing the mechanical properties of the samples.
