Studying the Physical Properties of Bi-2223 Nanostructure Prepared Thermal Treatment Method

Abstract

Recently, the researchers gave a great interest in the superconducting topic, as the preparation method is importance to reach a high critical temperature. In this study, the Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) compound prepared by thermal treatment method at different sintering temperatures such as (600, 700, 850) °C at (7) PH for (20 hrs). The phase formation was observed by X-ray diffraction, as well as information about the crystal structure, as the peaks were almost identical to the international standard document. the peaks are well indexed by tetragonal phase of Bi-2223. The results of the electrical resistance test showed that there is a difference in the critical temperature depending on the difference of the sintering temperatures The best result was at a temperature of 850 ° C. The sizes of the nanoparticles ranged from (22 - 123) nm, this is what the TEM measurements showed. It has been shown to be a successful method for preparing superconducting nanoparticles as (Bi-2223) compound
