Direct Measurements

One crucial property for most superconductor applications is the materials critical current density. Measurements on single crystals of YBa2Cu3O7, show critical currents to be in excess of 105 A/cm2 at 77K. However, polycrystalline samples show values of 103 A/cm2 or less at 77K. The critical current, unlike other superconductivity properties, is not a property of a specific composition but of a specific sample. Defects, introduced during the material processing, exert a pinning force which makes it possible for Type-II superconductors to carry current without losses. At the same time these defects represent an interruption in the structural and chemical order which has been shown to be necessary for superconductivity in the YBa2Cu3Ox phase, and so they may also act as a weak link in the conduction path. The most direct measurements of the role of individual grain boundaries on the critical current density are those of Chaudhari et al. who examined patterned YBa2Cu3O7 films grown on SrTiO3 substrates.

Additional Improvement

Ag-sheathed tapes of Bi–Sr–Ca–Cu–O (BSCCO) and BSCCO–Ag superconducting cores were made by a powder-in-tube technique and subjected to repeated cycles of pressing and heat treatments. These thermomechanical treatments resulted in enhanced texturing and grain growth that improved the critical current density (Jc). Additions of Ag to the BSCCO core further increased texturing and brought an additional improvement in Jc. Strain tolerance of the tapes was evaluated by measuring Jc before and after application of a predetermined level of tensile strain in a uniaxial mode. The fraction of Jc retained after the strain application was higher in the BSCCO–Ag composite tapes than in the monolithic BSCCO. For a 1.2% applied strain, 90% of the initial Jc was retained in the BSCCO–Ag composite tape, compared to only 40% in the monolithic BSCCO tapes. The higher strain tolerance of the BSCCO–Ag tapes may be related to improved mechanical properties (strength, flexibility, and fracture toughness) and grain connectivity due to Ag addition.
