Preparation of high‐density YBa2Cu3Oxceramics with improved superconducting properties by hot pressing under controlled atmosphere
High‐density YBa2Cu3Ox(relative sintered density ≥97, as hot pressed) ceramics with an improved superconducting temperature (Tc) of 95 K and a critical current density (Jc) of 700 A/cm2at 77 K, 0 T have successfully been produced by using hot pressing under a carefully controlled ambient gas system, followed by an appropriate oxygenation process. The obtained results indicate that in the oxygenation process of an YBa2Cu3Oxcrystal the phase transition from the tetragonal phase (nonsuperconducting) to orthorhombic I phase (Tc≥90 K) occurs much easier than from orthorhombic II phase (Tc≊60 K) to orthorhombic I phase. This may also demonstrate a possible solution to the oxygenation problem in high‐density YBa2Cu3Oxceramics usually with degraded superconducting properties.
